65,000 Years of Australian Art

More about the book

"Long before the British invaded Australia in 1788, first peoples' art traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but it was not regarded as 'fine art' by the settlers until the late 1980s. 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art celebrates the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art."--Back cover.
