...creation of 19th century Australian landscape was taken by the group known as the Australian Impressionists, whose most gifted members were Arthur Streeton and Tom Roberts. Between them they created a landscape idiom that would last for decades and is still enormously popular there today: the blue-and-gold bush, with its clear light and exquisite transparencies. They weren't Impressionists in the orthodox, French sense--their work had nothing to do with Monet, for instance; their sources lay in late 19th century French realism and, above all, in the work of Whistler...

Here is a bush fire that consumed much of her property in Wooroloo: "It began with a small red spot/ That flowered in the floorboards,/ Its anemone danced, and the music/ Was the crack of wood applauding." Such moments suggest that poets can be born as well as made...
...happily married to a fellow painter, the Hungarian-born Laszlo Lukacs, Hughes has moved from her property in Wooroloo--the bush fires grew too harrowing--and lives full-time in London. She is pleased to have conquered her own reluctance to appear in print as a poet, despite all the comparisons that await her work. And she wants to concentrate on the future, not her parents' storied past. "I can't ever know the truth," she says of her mother's suicide.
