John Marsden’s and Shaun Tan’s epic picture book‚ “The Rabbits”‚ is an allegorical fable about colonisation‚ told from the perspective of the natives.

The subjects in these two paintings have gleamy eyes ‚ projecting a powerful and direct gaze back at the viewer and water flowing from their faces. The light and neon colour that is projected from the subject’s face downwards from their foreheads exposes the imperfections on the subject’s skin.

1955 marked the year in which Nicholas Ray’s film Rebel Without a Cause was released as the latest Hollywood success. With its revolutionary acting and modern style‚ Rebel Without a Cause proved to be an ideal example of progressive‚ contemporary cinema.
