Overview

From its inception, the South Australian School of Art has been a wellspring of our arts and cultural life, and not merely in the home state. In this richly illustrated, lovingly researched book, Jenny Aland tells the lively story of the School's 170 years to the present day, set against a background of social, political and cultural progress and change. Along the way, we meet a host of influential individuals who taught or studied at the School. The roll call includes many with long established national and international careers in the field, such as Sydney Ball, Annette Bezor, Dorrit Black, Bert Flugelman, Fiona Hall, Barbara Hanrahan, Franz Kempf, Mandy Martin, Ann Newmarch, Trevor Nickolls, Jeffrey Smart, Hossein Valamanesh and Margaret Worth.
