註釋

"The physical, social and political upheavals of Australia's golden decade - the 1850s - created a period of exuberant creativity that was to shake up the transplanted colonial culture and redirect it towards a new cultural order. The Gold Rush lured the venturesome and exited the spirited, compelling them to explore the unfamiliar and unpredictable environment physically, intellectually and aesthetically. Suddenly there appeared artists of all kinds, many of whom had begun their careers in a Europe itself racked by social dissent. Out of their lively activity grew a kind of Antipodean baroque flowering - public galleries, art schools, societies and publications that collectively were to influence the nation's aesthetic future. [...] In this book, the result of many years of research, Alan McCulloch, author of the classic Encyclopedia of Australian Art, interweaves the characters of the artists with the events of the time, achieving a composite tapestry of this dynamic period, significant to both those interested in art and in history."--Front flap.
