4.0
A very nice overview of Australian art from the landing of Cook up to the 1990s. Allen does give a mostly impartial view but is quite prone to fits of personal criticism, especially when his timeline reaches the mid-20th century (as can be seen in a small tirade against Brett Whiteley). Apart from that however, this would be the book I would shove into the hands of anyone wanting to know anything about Aussie art.
