Book Description
"This exhibition is the first to offer an extensive overview of the Museum's holdings of early Central European drawings, many of which were acquired in the last two decades. An emphasis on works by later sixteenth- and seventeenth-century artists is balanced by a selection of German drawings from the fifteenth and earlier sixteenth century, of which some of the most exceptional ones--including works by Albrecht Deurer--entered the Museum with The Robert Lehman Collection in 1975."--Publisher's website.

Book Description
Animal expressions: Franz Marc's search for a universal art Franz Marc (1880-1916) became known principally for his images of animals: blue horses, yellow tigers, red fawns. What was it that led him to concentrate on painting animals? Marc himself explained his choice of subject matter in these words: "From an early date I felt humankind to be 'ugly'; animals seemed to me possessed of a greater beauty and purity..." Seeing Marc merely as a painter of animals proves, however, premature. Marc, cofounder of the Blauer Reiter group of Expressionist artists, was deeply dissatisfied with the impurity of the world, and was on a quest for a universal art which would resolve the contrarieties of life in the harmony of creation. Using pure colors highly charged with symbolic values, adopting crystalline shapes, and absorbing the influence of Cubism, he moved steadily towards an abstract order of image, coming closer to his own understanding of a better world. At the age of 36, Franz Marc's life was cut short when he died in the Battle of Verdun.

Book Description
Sidney Nolan (1917 1992) wove a compelling narrative around the figure of Ned Kelly as the 'wronged' anti-hero who forged his own homemade armour and was pursued by police through the often featureless Australian bush. Though the Kelly myth didn't start with Nolan's paintings, his images remain the most enduring and instantly recognisable evocations of the legend. Kelly's stark black silhouette gave Nolan his most powerful poetic metaphor for Australians' relationship with their land. The text is by Andrew Sayers, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, and Murray Bail, whose novels include the prize-winning Eucalyptus.

Book Description
Horace Trenerry (1899-1958) an artist of unique vision and quality remained known only for a small group of admirers, most of them in Adelaide. Disregarded in books on Australian art, two of Trenerry's paintings were nevertheless included in an important exhibition of Australian painting shown at the Tate Gallery, London in 1963 where they were singled out for special praise. In 1970, Lou Klepac, when Curator of paintings at the Art Gallery of South Australia, published a book on this remarkable painter, whose achievement seemed impossible to extend beyond the south Australian border. Today, Trenerry is being discovered by discerning collectors of Australian art, especially in Sydney, where Barry Pearce, Head Curator of Australian Art, has acquired several of Trenerry's finest works for the collection. The present book which shows a wide range of Trenerry's work all in colour, will allow people to discover a painter who deserves to be better known. Besides two essays by Lou Klepac and extensive biographical notes, the book includes and essay by Barry Pearce on Trenerry and Adelaide, and a memoir by Jeffrey Smart, who visited the artist in Aldinga in the late 1940s.'..there was something so brave and mad about Tren. He knew how to live, but painting was the imperative necessity, and everything was sacrificed to that.' from Jeffrey Smart, Not Quite Straight, a memoir. William Heinmann Australia 1996AUTHORLou Klepac, art historian and publisher, was born in Croatia in 1936. he emigrated to Australia in 1950 and was educated at Perth Modern School and the University of Western Australia.
