Summary Includes every known painter, sketcher, printmaker and photographer who worked in Australia before 1870, and provides impressive evidence of the vast amount of work produced in Australia prior to the twentieth-century institutionalisation of art. Among the 2500 artists listed are Aboriginal Australians who made art in European media, and the many middle-class women whose major creative outlet was painting watercolours of native flowers
