The rock art of Australias Indigenous peoples is the oldest and richest in the world, dating as far back as 60,000 years and spread across hundreds of thousands of sites.[297] Traditional designs, patterns and stories infuse contemporary Indigenous Australian art, "the last great art movement of the 20th century";[298] its exponents include Emily Kame Kngwarreye.[299] During the first century of European settlement, colonial artists, trained in Europe, showed a fascination with the unfamiliar land.[300] The naturalistic, sun-filled works of Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts and others associated with the 19th-century Heidelberg School—the first "distinctively Australian" movement in Western art—gave expression to a burgeoning Australian nationalism in the lead-up to Federation.[300] While the school remained influential into the new century, modernists such as Margaret Preston, and, later, Sidney Nolan and Arthur Boyd, explored new artistic trends.[300] The landscape remained a central subject matter for Fred Williams, Brett Whiteley and other post-World War II artists whose works, eclectic in style yet uniquely Australian, moved between the figurative and the abstract.[300][301] The National Gallery of Australia and state galleries maintain collections of Australian and international art.[302] Australia has one of the worlds highest attendances of art galleries and museums per head of population.[303] Australian literature grew slowly.[305] IN19th-century writers such as Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson captured the experience of the bush using a distinctive Australian vocabulary. Their works are still very popular; Patersons bush poem "Waltzing Matilda" (1895) is regarded as Australias unofficial national anthem.[306] Patrick White and South African-born J. M. Coetzee were awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973 and 2003 respectively,[307] and Peter Carey, Thomas Keneally and Richard Flanagan are receipients of the Man Booker Prize.[308] David Malouf and David Williamson are also renowned writers[309] and Les Murray is regarded as "one of the leading poets of his generation".[310] Many of Australias performing arts companies receive funding through the federal governments Australia Council.[311] There is a symphony orchestra in each state,[312] and a national opera company, Opera Australia,[313] well known for its famous soprano Joan Sutherland.[314] At the beginning of the 20th century, Nellie Melba was one of the worlds leading opera singers.[315] Ballet and dance are represented by The Australian Ballet and various state companies. Each state has a publicly funded theatre company.[316]
