| Bernard Smith (1916â 2011) was undoubtedly Australiaâ s greatest art historian and arguably Australiaâ s most important humanist scholar. His European Vision and the South Pacific, 1768â 1850 (1960) was a foundational text of post-colonialism, and in Australian Painting (1962) he set out the definitive history of Australian art to that time. Antipodean Perspective: The Selected Writings of Bernard Smith presents twenty-six art historians, curators, artists and critics, from Australia and overseas, who have chosen a text from Smithâ s work and sought to explain its personal and broader significance. Their selections reveal Smithâ s extraordinary range as a scholar, his profound grasp of this nationâ s past, and the way his ideas have maintained their relevance as we face our future. |
