About
Sydney Long is Australia’s foremost Art Nouveau painter, whose work is much loved. His art flourished in the imaginatively stimulating atmosphere in Sydney in the 1890s and 1900s, when he achieved early success with one of his best-known works, By tranquil waters 1894. It was a precursor to the paintings in which he peopled the Australian bush with mythological figures, painted in an Art Nouveau style.
