Australian Art History and Sitemap


Australian art is a broad spectrum of art created in or about Australia, or by Australians overseas, spanning from prehistoric times to the present day.
The art forms include, but are not limited to, Aboriginal, Colonial, Landscape, Atelier and Contemporary art.
The visual arts in Australia have a rich and extensive history, with Aboriginal art dating back at least 30,000 years.


The country has been the birthplace of many notable artists from both Western and Indigenous Australian schools.
These include the late-19th-century Heidelberg School plein air painters, the Antipodeans, the Central Australian Hermannsburg School watercolorists, and the Western Desert Art Movement.
The Australian art scene also features significant examples of High modernism and Postmodern art.

L'arte Australiana è un ampio spettro di opere d'arte create in o sull'Australia, o da australiani all'estero, che vanno dalla preistoria ai giorni nostri.
Le forme d'arte includono, ma non sono limitate a, arte aborigena, coloniale, paesaggistica, atelier e contemporanea.
Le arti visive in Australia hanno una storia ricca ed estesa, con l'arte aborigena che risale ad almeno 30.000 anni fa.


Il paese ha dato i natali a molti artisti importanti delle scuole australiane sia occidentali che indigene.
Questi includono i pittori plein air della Scuola di Heidelberg della fine del XIX secolo, gli Antipodeans, gli acquerellisti della Scuola Hermannsburg dell'Australia centrale ed il Movimento artistico del deserto occidentale. La scena artistica australiana presenta anche esempi significativi di alto modernismo ed arte postmoderna.
