HARDCOVER. Sydney Long's decorative symbolist paintings epitomise one of the many strands in the rich tapestry of Australian artistic life in the 1890s which until now has been done less than justice by the over-emphasis given to the strident nationalism found in some of the work of Roberts, Streeton and Lambert.He is also loved for his later sensitive etchings which show him to be one of Australia's masters of the craft. At the same time, relatively little is known about either his career as an artist or his private life.In this, the definitive study of Long's work, Joanna Mendelssohn analyses his development as an artist from his youth in the New South Wales country town of Goulburn; his early public career in Sydney when he became a close associate of Roberts, Streeton and Ashton; to his later career in England and his final years in Sydney.Long was self-consciously Australian, yet his most significant early works, Pan, Spirit of the Plains and the missing Pastorale, owe a considerable debt to European sources. In these works he freely adapted sources ranging from reproductions in the English magazine The Studio to the 19th century French artist Corot.When Long finally went to England at the age of 39 he found that success did not come easily to colonial painters. However, after he adopted the craft of etching he achieved a modest reputation as an English etcher, becoming Australia's only A.R.E.While her study is primarily an analysis of Long's career as a working artist, Joanna Mendelssohn has also included many little known details of Long's life and has placed his work in this context and the context of the art of his time.Her writing is supported by 38 colour illustrations of his paintings and black and white illustrations of the etchings.A catalogue of 326 of his paintings and the etchings in the collection of the Australian National Gallery and the Art Gallery of New South Wales is also included. 1979, First edition. A very good copy only marked by light tanning/spotting of the edges. The d/w is also very good with light bumping to the top corners and a short repaired tear to the top edge of the rear panel. Scans available if required. Seller Inventory # 19400116
