Australian Art in the National Gallery of Australia
This broad-sweeping survey of the National Gallery's paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, and decorative arts and design collections features more than 400 works. Indigenous and non-Indigenous works are represented, with iconic favourites such as Sidney Nolan's 'Ned Kelly' series set alongside important but lesser-known acquisitions. The works are arranged in chronological order, from 1770 to 2002--'Pre-colonial and Colonial' through to 'Art Now'. Insightful essays from over 50 artists, curators and scholars, range from personal reflections by artists discussing their own works to more discursive or critical commentaries placing works in their historical context.

British Art for Australia, 1860-1953
Traditional postcolonial scholarship on art and imperialism emphasises tensions between colonising cores and subjugated peripheries. The ties between London and British white settler colonies have been comparatively neglected. Artworks not only reveal the controlling intentions of imperialist artists in their creation but also the uses to which they were put by others in their afterlives.

Bonyhady's rigorous analysis of the individual works, supported by a wealth of biographical and historical detail, recreates the lively and influential artistic climate that prevailed during the first hundred years of colonial settlement.
