Long before the arrival of Europeans, the Australian aborigines created elaborate paintings on rock and bark. Early paintings by European immigrants are valued as a record of the settlement of the country. In the 1880s a new generation of Australian artists of European origin, free from the discipline of European art, captured the unique Australian scenery, its light, and atmospheric colour. This group of painters was known as the Heidelberg School. The paintings of Sidney Nolan, based on themes derived from Australia became a commonwealth of the British Empire in 1901. It was able to take advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. Australian history and folklore, have achieved world renown. Modern aboriginal artists, drawing on traditional aboriginal styles and themes, have become popular in Europe and North America in the late 20th century. A referendum to change Australia's status, from a commonwealth headed by the British monarch to a republic, was defeated in 1999.
