Bush Sawyers 1910

Frederick McCubbin's 1910 oil painting "Bush Sawyers" depicts two men working in the Australian wilderness. The scene showcases the harshness of the Australian bush through detailed brushstrokes that capture the dense foliage and the rugged terrain. The composition is a testament to McCubbin's ability to portray the everyday lives of ordinary Australians, with the focus on the men's labor and their connection to the landscape. This realist work captures a moment of hard work and resilience in the face of nature's challenges.
