From the collection of the Terra Collection for American Art, fifteen landscapes by American artists are exhibited with landscape works from the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia. This exhibition examines major themes that informed landscape representation during the long nineteenth century, enabling cross-cultural comparative study.

In conjunction with the exhibition Continental Shift,  university courses with visiting lecturers from the U. S. will be held at University of Western Australia and at the University of Melbourne.

The exhibition is on view at Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, Australia, July 30, 2016–February 5, 2017 and Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne, Australia, March 14–June 11, 2017 (as Not as the Songs of other Lands: Nineteenth Century Australian and American Landscape Painting).
