30 jun 1889 año - 9 by 5 exhibition

Descripción:

Australians in the 1880s were the richest per capita in the world. The gold rushes had brought people, money and ideas flooding into a rapidly expanding Melbourne. By the 1880s, a sense of nationalism was building in the Australian population. People were yearning for stories and imagery that resonated with their newfound sense of identity.

Roberts organised the 9 by 5 Impression Exhibition along with Charles Conder and Arthur Streeton. This popular exhibition launched a new and powerful Australian art movement that has come to visually represent the formative period of national history around the time of Federation.
