Detailed Description
The Antipodeans were a group of Australian painters who, in the 1950s, began to develop and promote a distinctly Australian style of painting. The group was initially made up of painters from Melbourne, but later expanded to include artists from other parts of Australia. The Antipodeans are often seen as Australia’s answer to the British and American Abstract Expressionists. Like the Abstract Expressionists, the Antipodeans sought to develop an art that was expressive and personal, and which reflected the unique experience of being an Australian. The Antipodeans were also influenced by European art movements such as Cubism and Surrealism. This is evident in the work of many of the group’s members, such as John Brack and Sidney Nolan. The Antipodeans had a major impact on the development of Australian art, and their work is still highly regarded today. Some of the most famous Antipodean paintings include John Brack’s The Bar and Sidney Nolan’s Ned Kelly series.
