This work presented by Esso and Mobil, celebrates the achievements of one of Australia's most creative and honoured artists. In focusing on specific aspects of Nolan's prolific work - images of Australia's inland landscape, Burke and Wills, religion and environmental concerns - produced between 1949 and 1953, it has been possible to present a highly detailed exhibition rarely accorded to an Australian artist.

This illustrated, annotated catalogue was prepared to accompany a retrospective exhibition curated by the author, who is the assistant curator of Australian art at the National Gallery of Victoria. Presents 83 of Streeton's works and provides biographical details, a discussion of Streeton's style and method, as well as giving information about each painting. The exhibition was one of a series honouring notable historical figures in Australian art. Includes a chronology and references. Also available in paperback.

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.
