Search the Illustration Index to Australian Art

Illustration Index to Australian Art is an index to the many reproductions of Australian artists which have been used as illustrations in books on the arts and in major exhibition catalogues. Information is given, when known, concerning the medium of the original, whether it is in colour or black/white, and the page or other reference number in the text where the reproduction occurs.

Please note: The Barr Smith Library does not have copies of the individual art works listed in the Illustration Index to Australian Art, nor do we have anything to do with their copyright. There is no point in asking us for a copy of an illustration or for permission to use a particular art work.

For information on how to find images of art works, please visit our Help page.
