15. The ‘Rebellious Generation’
“The members of the rebellious generation – Noel Counihan, Albert Tucker, Sidney Nolan, Max Harris, John Reed and Bernard Smith – created a movement of revolt more volatile than anything hitherto seen in Australia.
They were revolutionaries … struggling to come to terms with the modern world and its history. With much in common, they were also divided in their view on the nature of society, nature and culture, and of the art that could give expression to authentic Australian experience.”
Richard Haese, Rebels and Precursors: The revolutionary years of Australian art
