Portrait of a Collection: TarraWarra Museum of Art | Editor: Victoria Lynn
$120.00
TarraWarra Museum of Art in the Yarra Valley holds one of the country's finest collections of Australian art from the 1930s to the present day. Established through the generous donation of founding patrons, the late Marc Besen AC and Eva Besen AO, the museum's collection follows three prevailing themes: landscape, the solitary figure and abstraction.
Many of the artists represented in the collection - including John Brack, William Dobell, Russell Drysdale, Rosalie Gascoigne, John Olsen, Patricia Piccinini, Yhonnie Scarce, Jeffrey Smart and Judy Watson - have been instrumental in shaping the development of modern and contemporary art in Australia.
This richly illustrated book offers contemporary interpretative lenses on the history of Australian art since the 1930s, bringing the relevance of the collection into the present day.
