Notes:"This publication arose from an inspired partnership between the Terra Foundation, The University of Western Australia, the Art Gallery of Western Australia, and the University of Melbourne's Ian Potter Museum of Art. Together, the partners co-organized and presented the Terra Collection Initiative exhibition Continental shift : Nineteenth Century American and Australian Landscape Painting (shown in Melbourne as Not as the Songs of Other Lands: 19th Century American and Australian Landscape Painting)."--Page 7.

Summary:"This volume of essays frames a comparative history of landscape painting in Australia and the United States through recent considerations of the Anthropocene, arguing that careful and deep analysis of specific nineteenth-century artworks reveals issues of environmental concern both past and present. Carefully drawn from two symposia held at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth in 2016 and at the Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne the following year, the volume includes eight essays and a conversation between artists. Colonization, Wilderness, and Spaces Between brings together the fresh insights of scholars and artists from Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States and provides a resource for thinking critically about the historical, imperial, and environmental information that can be gleaned from looking closely at landscape paintings"--Publisher's description.
