Sinopse

This engaging and provocative work examines the impact of the First World War on Australian attitudes to modernist art. John Williams argues that between 1914 and 1939, Australia became an inward-looking, reactionary society, in contrast with the cosmopolitan openness displayed in the media of the pre-war years.
