Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Some fading at spine. Interior and binding are excellent.

Sir Arthur Streeton, a founding member of the Heidelberg School of painters, remains one of Australia's best-known artists. He was also a prolific, engaging letter writer.

This collection includes letters to fellow artists Tom Roberts, Lionel Lindsay, Frederick McCubbin, Julian Ashton, George Lambert and Sydney Ure Smith.

It offers an invaluable record not only of the life and opinions of one man but of artistic and cultural life in Australia emerging from the British shadow. (book flap)
