And then we can ask -"What is Australian about Australian painting?"
(and weren't Australian artists just as much "born into a continent without museums and art schools"?) Here's a blog dedicated to that subject: http://jrmedia.blogspot.com/ Do those things feel especially Australian? Kind of - maybe - at least in retrospect? There's usually a gallery of Australian art-glass at the annual decorative arts exhibit in Chicago -- and it always feels Australian to me -- but I can't say why. One thing I've been noticing lately -- is how the recent figure sculpture of each European country -- even the small ones like Belgium and Switzerland and Georgia-- feels different from all the others. ____________________________________________________________ Click now and pick up a gourmet gift basket for any occasion! http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/fc/Ioyw6ijmoz09I5Mt11eIePNsAfcLi8 MCVeyUy4Ihfysq8H7SPuSTG0/
