A Treasury Of Australian Bush Painting [Hardcover] Bruce Susan

**A Treasury of Australian Bush Painting** is your ticket to the raw, sunburnt soul of Australia's art scene. This gorgeous hardcover celebrates the painters who ditched the stuffy European traditions and went full-throttle into depicting our unique landscape – think dusty horizons, ghost gums, and that particular shade of red dirt that gets under your fingernails.

Bruce Susan curates a stunning collection showcasing how Australian artists captured the harsh beauty and spiritual connection of the bush. From colonial settlers trying to make sense of an alien landscape to contemporary artists who know exactly how to nail that impossible Australian light, this visual feast explores themes of belonging, isolation, and our complex relationship with the land.

Perfect for art lovers, Australian history buffs, coffee table browsers, and anyone who's ever felt that weird pull of the outback. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has character – just like the paintings inside.

*"Absolutely stunning reproductions – feels like taking a road trip through Australian art history without leaving the couch!"*
*"Finally, an art book that doesn't make me feel like I need a PhD to enjoy it."*
