Book Description
This publication focuses on the Gallery's collection of 46 Streeton works ranging from Sandrige (painted on cigar-box wood in 1884) through to his late canvas In a London garden c1934. Tracing Streeton's career, the book tells how he painted his youthful works of the 1880s and 90s alongside artist friends Charles Condor and Tom Roberts--camping in a farmhouse overlooking the Yarra River at Heidelberg, near Melbourne, and then (with Roberts) on the shores of Sydney harbour. He painted in London from 1897, before returning to spend the last two decades of his life working in Melbourne, where his late work evoked a peaceful pastoral Australia.

This exploration of an unexpected aspect of New Zealand social history examines the human body at leisure in the years 1900&–1960.

Paddy Cahill of Oenpelli
Author: Derek John MulvaneyPublisher: Aboriginal Studies Press
ISBN: 0855754567
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Paddy Cahill of Oenpelli is the story of a unique twentieth-century Territorian. At times a racehorse owner and jockey, a buffalo-hunter and pastoralist, Paddy Cahills contribution to Northern Territory life also includes farming on his Oenpelli property. Here he experimented in growing a range of fruit and vegetables while employing Aboriginal workers, farming and helping run the property. A colourful writer, his letters to Baldwin Spencer, from which Spencer drew much information for his own now-famous writings, form the basis for this examination of a rugged frontiersman, including his relationship with the Northern Territory Aboriginal peoples; their languages and culture.
