Smith, Grace Cossington

National Gallery of Victoria

Founded in 1861, the National Gallery of Victoria is Australia's oldest public art gallery.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge did more than merely unite the two sides of the harbour; it inspired a city and a nation, long before it was even completed. Images of the bridge by Grace Cossington Smith, Henri Mallard and Harold Cazneaux are among the most iconic. While CJ Denis gives us a sentimental view of Sydney's colonial history, Peter Carey's observations of the city and its history focus on a much darker side of the past.
