Description

Through the artworks of 100 featured Australian Aboriginal artists, this beautiful representation explores the evolution of the contemporary Aboriginal art movement in remote Australia across twenty-nine art centres.

This exceptional work offers insight into Knowledges and Traditions, while celebrating the achievements of these artists- all recognised as among the most distinguished painters from remote Australia. Author Marie Geissler's opening essay traces the progression from rock art through to the launch of the Western desert movement, which began at Papunya in the early 1970s and led to the widespread uptake of contemporary painting by Aboriginal artists. Esteemed writers Margot Neale and Djon Mundine offer erudite contributions distilling the complexity of the art movement and its impact.
