{"product_id":"sidney-nolan","title":"Sidney Nolan","description":"\u003cp\u003eSidney Nolan, arguably the greatest Australian artist in the Western tradition, is best known for his 1940s and 1950s paintings of Ned Kelly, iconic outlaw of the Australian outback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn these powerful and original paintings the extraordinary Australian landscape itself plays a formidable part. But the Kelly series formed just a fraction of Nolan's prodigious output. He was an impassioned artist who worked almost up to his death in 1992, still experimenting, still intellectually curious, still playful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, with its illustrations - 270 in full color, including five polyptychs on foldouts - is the first to cover Nolan's entire career, from his early paintings to the enormous, multi-paneled works known collectively as Oceania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome major series, like Ned Kelly, center on the heroic and tragic figures of Australian history - the shipwrecked Mrs. Fraser, the explorers Burke and Wills, the soldiers at Gallipoli, the miners of the Eureka Stockade - and others center on such ancient myths as Leda and the Swan or Oedipus and the Sphinx.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T.
