Description:Plein Airs and Graces examines the extraordinary life of George Collingridge de Tourcey, a landscape painter of the late nineteenth century, just ahead of the Australian impressionists. When he emigrated from France to Australia he grew passionate about the possibilities of his new country, and worked tirelessly to contribute to it - not least for his Discovery of Australia (1895), in which on the evidence of ancient maps he argued controversially for Portuguese and Hispanic pre-discovery of Australia. Adrian Mitchell has had a long career at the University of Sydney, where he is now an Honorary Research Associate in the Department of English. Among many projects, he edited Bards in the Wilderness: Australian Colonial Poetry to 1920 together with Brian Elliott, and with Leonie Kramer edited the Oxford Anthology of Australian Literature. He is the author of Drawing the Crow, a book of essays about what it meant to be South Australian in the 50s and 60s, and of Dampier's Monkey: The South Seas Voyages of William Dampier.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
