 | | With Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Charles Conder, McCubbin is acknowledged as developing in Australia an impressionistic technique of painting, and illustrating scenes that embraced the nationalistic concerns of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. |
 | | Of all his peers, McCubbin's subjects are the most firmly placed in the Australian landscape, and in particular the city of Melbourne and its surrounding environs: Box Hill, Brighton, Macedon and South Yarra. |
 | | Although McCubbin is most widely known for his heroic images of pioneering life,(Bridget Whitelaw, The Art of Frederick McCubbin, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 1991, p.1) many critics agree that he produced some of his most brilliant works in the last years of his life, and praise the sparkling freedom of the later works. |
