Featuring paintings, sculpture, photographs, and decorative arts, Australian Symbolism: The Art of Dreams is the only book on this subject and provides a fresh context for the work of some of the most well known Australian artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
It investigates two main streams of Symbolist art: those artists such as Rupert Bunny, Bernard Hall, George Lambert, Arthur Loureiro, and Bertram Mackennal who trained or worked overseas and drew directly from European Symbolist genres; and those working here such as Charles Conder, Sydney Long, Arthur Streeton, and Tom Roberts and who defined a local experience.
