This book aims to redefine Australia's earliest art history by
chronicling for the first time the birth of the category
"Aboriginal art," tracing the term's use through published
literature in the late eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. Susan Lowish reveals how the idea of "Aboriginal art"
developed in the European imagination, manifested in early
literature, and became a distinct classification with its own
criteria and form. Part of the larger story of Aboriginal/European
engagement, this book provides a new vision for an Australian art
history reconciled with its colonial origins and in recognition of
what came before the contemporary phenomena of Aboriginal art.
