Episode number 5 of Series “Landscape with figures: the art of Australia”.
One of a series in which Robert Hughes surveys Australia’s art from the time of the first fleet to the present day. Post impressionism raised its timid head in Australia around 1915 but started with a disadvantage - rampant nationalism made it an unreceptive age for the brave new visions of Margaret Preston, Grace Cossington-Smith, Roland Wakelin and Roy de Maistre. Narrated by Robert Hughes Suitable for upper secondary level
