The painted coast: Views of the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide

Hylton, Jane

Art Gallery of South Australia

The works produced by Australia's women artists during the 40 years from the post-World War I period to after World War 11 reflected the challenges of the times. These women explored new ideas about what art could portray, bringing home new movements like Cubism from Europe. They extended painting and printmaking and challenged other artists and Australian audiences. The works here are by Margaret Preston, Grace Cossington Smith, Dorrit Black, Grace Crowley, Stella Bowen, and 11 others, artists that are well-known by the Australian and international public as well as less exposed artists. Included are artists' biographies and bibliography. (Art Gallery of South Australia)

Modern Australian Women: Paintings and Prints, 1925-1945

Ivor Hele was an artist of extraordinary discipline and power. He was also enormously prolific and completed more commissioned works than any other artist in the history of Australian art. His front-line responses to war, sketched and painted for the Australian War Memorial, the portraits that won him the Archibald prize an astonishing five times during the 1950s, his exuberant nudes (Ivor and his wife swam nude at Maslins beach long before it was fashionable or legal to do so) and his magnificent landscapes of that rugged coastline south of Adelaide - where he lived as a recluse - combine to make up a prodigious body of work. This book focuses on the non-war art in an attempt to offer a wider view of the man, his exceptional ability and his rigorous discipline. It is released to coincide with an exhibition that celebrates his life-long dedication to his art.

Reliving the controversy that reigned in 1944 after William Dobell's portrait of artist Joshua Smith was awarded the Archibald Prize, Australia's premier prize for portraiture, this book describes the curious history of this famous painting. The passionate debate that the painting inspires even today and the long unanswered question of whether this was a portrait or an unkind caricature are covered in detail. Also included is the story of the fire that nearly destroyed it and its remarkable restoration. Other early works by this great, enigmatic Australian artist are showcased as well.
