Description

Discover a fresh perspective on Australian art history with Useless Beauty: Flowers and Australian Art. While much of the traditional art narrative focuses on landscape and masculine themes, this book shifts the focus to the often-overlooked world of botanical subjects. It provides a detailed look at how blossoms have shaped the visual identity of the nation. Spanning the years from 1880 to 1950, this work offers a broad chronological study that is unique in its approach. Rather than focusing solely on individual flower artists, it examines the wider presence of floral themes across the era. Readers can explore the stories of major figures such as Hans Heysen, Margaret Preston, and Sidney, gaining new insights into a specific slice of art history through the lens of nature. This book is an essential resource for those interested in Australian art, botanical studies, or the evolution of floral themes in fine art. It fills a gap in existing research by connecting botanical subjects to the larger movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
