Printed Images by Australian Artists, 1885-1955

More about the book

Exploring printmaking over seventy years, the book highlights its evolution from a reproductive medium to a form of artistic expression in the late 19th century. It delves into how prints were used to convey political messages during the tumultuous first half of the 20th century and concludes with the postwar period, where artists sought personal meaning and self-awareness through their work. This journey reflects the intersection of art with social and political contexts throughout a transformative era.
