Includes bibliographical references.
Introduction and acknowledgements -- Experiments in collecting -- The harmonious bringing together of a new art collection -- The Humanist moderns --The Formalist moderns -- The relevance of landscape -- Nocturnes and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik -- End notes -- List of artists and their works.
Author Sasha Grishin has used a musical analogy to categorise the more than 250 lavishly reproduced artworks by 135 artists of Australia's post-war years that are included in this book. Recalling the movements of a symphony, he divides the artworks into four 'movements': 'Humanist Moderns', 'Formalist Moderns', those for whom the landscape is relevant and, lastly, a variety of painters and sculptors more difficult to fit into a cohesive group. The 'Prelude' which introduces the book tells the story of accountant Tom Lowenstein who, with his partners, experimented in art collecting in the 1970s before - together with his son Evan and a colleague Adam Micmacher - establishing the present Lowensteins Arts Management Collection which currently hangs in Melbourne and Sydney.
