A Gallery of Australia's Finest Watercolours.
This monumental work celebrates Australia's finest watercolours under the distinguished imprimatur of the Australian Watercolour Institute, the nation's premier academy of watercolourists for 83 years. More than 150 contemporary Australian watercolours, plus 40 significant historical works, are reproduced to an exacting standard on quality paper. The book richly illustrates the work of current members of the Institute and also overviews the work of former members. It is prefaced by essays, which document the Institute's history and activities. To a large extent, the history of the Institute is the history of modern watercolour painting in Australia. 'The Australian Watercolour Institute: A Galley Of Australia's Finest Watercolours' is an elegant art book that both informs and pleases the higher senses, an ideal gift for any art lover.
