Description
This complete record of the artists and the work from Papunyam is a firsthand account of a contemporary art movement that has worked toward restoring the cultural pride of a deeply spiritual people and providing the rest of the world with new ways of seeing this inspirational art form.
This landmark book features more than five hundred paintings, drawings and photographs from Bardon’s personal archive. It tells the story of the catalyst for a powerfully modern expression of an ancient indigenous way of seeing the world. This book is a kind of Bible of Aboriginal Art.
