Colonization and Wilderness in Nineteenth-century American and Australian Landscape Painting

Podcasts of the symposium Colonization and Wilderness in Nineteenth-century American and Australian Landscape Painting, held at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in September 2016, are now available under ‘Related Videos’ on the Terra Foundation for American Art website page.

The exhibition has now moved to the The Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne, with new Australian paintings, under the title: Not As The Songs of Other Lands: 19th Century Australian and American Landscape Painting.

Some of the same paintings are discussed in three blogs by Richard Read:

 ‘Continental Shift 1: Colonization and Wilderness’, blog 1, Histories of Emotion from Medieval Europe to Contemporary Australia website

‘Continental Shift II: The Problem of History’, blog 2, Histories of Emotion from Medieval Europe to Contemporary Australia website

‘Continental Shift III, The Impact of Science’, blog 3, Histories of Emotion from Medieval Europe to Contemporary Australia website
