Melbourne’s remarkable youth, accelerated development and remote perspective offer a unique insight into the creation and ideation of a city. Each image offers a unique portrait of Melbourne, and reveals the original perspective of both its creator and its moment in history.
The Art of Being Melbourne includes works by Liardet, Russell, Streeton, Roberts, Beckett, Colahan,Tucker, Blackman, Smart, Amor, Senbergs, Shannon, Arkley, Shag, Miso, Luccio and many others.
