A survey of Western Australian art from 1696

DESCRIPTION

AuthorSpartalis, Arthur, authorDescriptionThis excellent book addresses the role that artists and their works have played in the state's socio-economic development. Many early-colonial artists were immigrants skilled in surveying and lithography, whereas in the 1890s gold rushes, the colony attracted many bona-fide artists from the eastern colonies. The twentieth century saw a professional approach to arts adminsitration as well as the creation of influential private galleries. An essential reference for art historians.ImprintSubiaco, W.A. : Arthur Spartalis Fine Art, 2008.; Â©2008Collationvi, 152 pages : colour illustrations ; 30 cm.LanguageEnglishDate Published2008NotesIncludes index.; Bibliography: pages 147-148.ISBN9780646500386 (hardback.)Dewey Class700.9941 SPAPublication FormatBook
