Streeton, Sir Arthur
Streeton, Sir Arthur (b Mount Duneed, Victoria, 8 Apr. 1867; d Olinda, Victoria, 2 Sept. 1943). Australian painter, active mainly in Melbourne. He was a prolific landscape painter, working in an Impressionist style similar to that of his friend Tom Roberts. Between 1898 and 1924 he spent most of his time abroad (in 1918 he was an Official War Artist with the Australian forces in France). His work became stereotyped, but he was enormously popular in his own country, regarded as the foremost portrayer of the remote and awesome Australian landscape. By the end of his life he had long enjoyed the status of a national institution.
