AUSTRALIAN ART –

William Robinson is one of the nation’s most cherished living artists. This book is produced to coincide with the artist’s 75th birthday. It celebrates this important milestone and is a tribute to Robinson’s unique perspective on the Australian landscape. The book is launched by Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce.

William Robinson: The Transfigured Landscape presents key works from Robinson’s oeuvre, including an unparalleled selection of the his critically acclaimed ‘Creation series’. An important aspect of the book was to reproduce many images on a large scale, so some series are presented across several pages and others are reproduced across the four gatefolds that are a feature of this book. Almost all the images are produced as full-page illustrations, and many have been specially rephotogaphed for this book.
