The modern Australian landscape tradition is captured in the spectrum of works selected from the University of Western Australia Art Collection by Curator Sally Quin. Join her as she discusses how formal experimentation of the post-war period has been used to reveal underlying structures of the bush, through the iconic imagery of Fred Williams, Sidney Nolan, Howard Taylor, and others.
