A wide range of suburban images is explored here, from the turn of the century works of Arthur Streeton and Frederick McCubbin, to the modernist suburban reveries of Clarice Beckett in the 1930s and the surreal wartime streetscapes of Albert Tucker, to the artists of today. Images are juxtaposed with visual material documenting the growth of suburbia and the marketing of its central icon -- the dream home. Images from more than 30 Australian artists are reproduced. Chapters discuss the invisible suburb, the suburb condemned, anti-suburbanism, a new tolerance in the 60s, the cultures of suburbia in the 70s, and the suburban pride of the 80s and 90s.
