Formed by 14 countries, Oceania is the smallest continent on
Earth, occupying an area of approximately 8.5 million square
kilometers. The continental economy presents a great disparity,
a fact that can be analyzed through the difference in the Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) of the countries of this region.

Australia and New Zealand have a high degree of socioeconomic
development, being among the richest countries and with the best
quality of life on the planet. These two nations have strong
industrialization and highly mechanized agriculture. The other
countries have little economy, based on agriculture. Tourism is
developed in virtually all countries.
The diversified Australian industrial park boosts the
national economy, with emphasis on the segments of: chemistry,
metallurgy, steel, petrochemical, machinery and equipment,
etc. Mining is another important sector for raising financial
resources. This activity is developed through the extraction of
bauxite, gold, iron, lead and manganese.
New Zealand, the second richest nation on the continent, has
a high level of industrialization (food, processing,
metallurgical, steel, petrochemical, etc.). It also houses large
reserves of oil, coal and natural gas. Another highlight of the
national economy is the flocks of sheep, goats, cattle and pigs,
boosting the production of wool, meat and dairy products.
The other twelve nations (Fiji, Marshall Islands, Solomon
Islands, Kiribati, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea,
Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu), unlike Australia and New
Zealand, have a low degree of industrialization and little
economy developed. The main activities to raise income are
tourism, agriculture, with subsistence plantations and export
monocultures, especially coconut, cocoa, coffee, cassava and
bananas, in addition to fishing. Visit the official website of
Abbreviationfinder.org to find abbreviations starting or

Australian Art
Australia's indigenous people have lived on the
continent as hunters and gatherers for over 30,000
years. Together, the 145,000 Australians make up about
500 ethnic groups, separated in terms of language,
culture and territorial organization. Each cultural area
has its own specific art traditions, closely related to
the group's ritual life and philosophical-religious
worldview.
A prominent feature of Australia's traditional art is
the memorial poles (pukamani) erected over the
dead in Arnhem Land and among the tiwi on Melville
Island. From Arnhem Land also come the works of art that
go under the designations rangga and
maraiin, ceremony poles and sculptures of
mythical figures as well as realistically depicted
animals. Sculpture art is otherwise uncommon, while
painting in various forms is richly represented - rock
paintings, bark paintings, body painting, decoration of
weapons, shields and sacred objects such as the arand
people's bullring, flat stones or wooden boards
with engraved designs that are considered loaded with
supernatural power.
The oldest art forms are rock carvings and rock
paintings made in yellow and red sugar, white clay and
charcoal. They show the happenings in a mythical "dream
time" (compare Australian religion), totem animals and
mythical figures, such as the well-known wandering
jinnesses on the rock paintings in the Kimberley region.
A special style, called "X-ray painting", which depicts
animals and people with visible internal organs, is
characteristic of Arnhem Land and again appears in the
North Australian painting on eucalyptus bark.
Within the indigenous population, in recent years
artists have emerged who, based on this bark painting
and central Australia's sand painting, have sought to
create an art that caters to an audience outside their
own group. Among these artists are Wandjuk Marika from
Arnhem Land and representatives of The Western
Desert School at Papunya such as Clifford Possum
Tjapaltjari and Michael Nelson Tjakamara.
The development of a European embossed art in
Australia began with the British colonization of the
continent, begun in 1788. The painting art initially
showed a draw to the documentary - in landscape painting
(John Glover), in portrait painting (Richard Read) and
in depictions of rural life (Conrad Martens). In the
second half of the 19th century, a realistic painting by
Samuel Gill was launched, and the sculpture art began to
be developed by artists such as John Mackennal and
Thomas Woolner. The foundations of an Australian
impressionism were laid at the turn of the century by
Tom Roberts, Charles Conder and Arthur Streeton, who
together gave the landscape painting a new direction.
Many Australian painters are now studying in Europe,
including John Russel, who was close to van Gogh, and
the sculptor George Lambert. A post-impressionist
tendency, with elements of experimental formalism,
The year 1939 is usually highlighted as a turning
point in Australian art. The Contemporary Art
Societywas formed and several artists returned from
Europe. Among them was William Dobell, who now began to
paint his penetrating portraits of businessmen and
representatives of the urban proletariat. The leading
representative of a new kind of national painting became
Russell Drysdale with his depictions of the Australian
hinterland and its people, especially the indigenous
people of the north. Now Albert Tucker and Arthur Boyd
also appeared with their social-critical painting and
their biblical and mythological images, which derived
impulses mainly from German expressionism. Sidney Nolan,
a traveler and cosmopolitan and perhaps the most
well-known of the artists of modern Australia, came to
represent a lyrical, visionary painting, deeply rooted
in the Australian landscape, its people and myths.
During the 1950s, a group of painters led by John Olsen
developed an abstract impressionism built on French role
models and on the traditions of indigenous predecessors
such as Ian Fairweather, Godfrey Miller and John
Passmore. This abstract art nowadays has new
representatives such as Brett Whiteley. Otherwise, the
post-war art has mostly followed the main international
trends, but still a national painting with artists such
as Fred Williams and his younger followers, who draw
their inspiration in the Australian landscape.
Australian Dance
Australia was already visited by European dancers in
the 1830s. Dance teachers followed and opened schools.
For a long time, it was only through guest games that
the audience got to know the development of ballet art.
It was not until 1942 that Edouard Borovansky founded a
domestic ensemble, which in 1962 became The Australian
Ballet. Under Peggy van Praagh and choreographer Robert
Helpmann developed this ballet ensemble into one of the
foremost contemporary. In 1982, British ballerina Maina
Gielgud took over the post of artistic director. The
ensemble often toured, and danced with Rudolf Nureyev in
the ballet film "Don Quijote" (1986). Australia now has
several ballet companies such as the West Australian
Ballet and Sydney Dance Company, as well as the
Australian Dance Theater, which is engaged in more
experimental modern dance forms.
In contemporary dance art, there is also an interest
in traditional dance among Australia's indigenous
people, where music and dance are closely associated
with ritual life and community organization. Repertoire
of so-called dance songs is owned by individuals or
family groups, and various forms of song and dance are
bought and sold between the groups. The term
"corroboree" has come to mean occasions when these songs
with associated dances are performed - dances that are
often mimic and mimic the movements and behaviors of
animals. Separate from these occasions are the
exclusively male rituals with song and mimic dance that
take place separate from the common dance venues.
The word "corroboree" nowadays has a greater spread
among Australians at large than among the indigenous
people, as does "bush-dance", which stands for a type of
folk dance that Europeans brought to Australia and
originating from so-called country dances in England. |
