The Australians absorbed the skill of arts and crafts from England. They used to read English journals on arts and crafts in Sydney and practiced it here. Though till the early 19th century, Australians were not good at fine arts, but today they have also made their mark in this field.
One of the very famous fine art artists at Sydney was Thomas Sydney Moran who was known for his great artistic skills.Sydney literary works are popular throughout the globe. The city has produced great authors including the likes of Nobel Laureate Patrick White who authored ‘The Vivisector’, Booker Prize winner Peter Carey who wrote ‘Oscar and Lucinda’, David Williamson who wrote ‘Emerald City’, Gabrielle Carey and Kathy Lette who penned down ‘Puberty Blues’, John Birmingham who wrote ‘Leviathan’ and many others.
In the present era, Sydney art and literature is going through reformation. Earlier it was just books and theaters that defined the art forms of Sydney but today various other art forms including crafts work have also gained prominence.
