  Art of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An art museum, which eventually became the National Gallery of Victoria, was founded in 1861, and began to collect Australian works as well as gathering a collection of European masters.
The beginnings of Australian art are often popularly associated with the Heidelberg School in the 1880s.
In 1971-2 art teacher Geoffrey Bardon encouraged the Aboriginal people of Papunya to paint their Dreamtime stories on canvas, leading to the development of the Papunya Tula school, or 'dot art' which has become possibly Australia's most recognisable style of art worldwide.

 Tucker, Albert Lee   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
One of Australia’s greatest artists, Tucker was born on 29 December 1914 at 90 Francis Street, Yarraville, the youngest of three children to John Tucker a railway worker and Clara née Davis; his paternal grandfather Albert Edwin Tucker (Melbourne General Cemetery) was a politician and prominent Fitzroy identity.
But financial success eluded Tucker until the early 1960s making for a long period of precarious living largely supported by the generous patronage of John and Sunday Reed née Baillieu who were both committed to modern contemporary art through the creation of Heide (1935-81).
Hester’s sudden departure in 1947 left Tucker (“a man whom she respected but was not in love with”) with a yearning to get away from Australia; he spent the next thirteen years in Europe and America but financial success continued to elude him.
