The Story of Art is an introduction to art, written by E. H. Gombrich.
First published in 1950, it is widely regarded both as a seminal work of criticism, and as one of the most accessible introductions to the visual arts. It was originally intended for younger readers. It has sold over six million copies to become the best selling art book of all time. It is currently in its 16th edition and has been translated into more than 20 languages.
This major survey exhibition of historical and contemporary indigenous art from Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula was held at the Queensland Art Gallery from 25 July to 9 November 2003.
Knowledge of ‘story places’ – places of spiritual or cultural significance – is passed from generation to generation in Indigenous culture.
Art works from the exhibition, plus artist and community profiles from each of the three regions are presented on this site.
