Christine Watson presents a highly original and groundbreaking book of Kutjungka paintings from the Western Desert of Australia.
ISBN: 9781920731304

 

This book presents an overview of traditional Aboriginal religious paintings, but does not analyse or explain them except to provide minimal notes; they speak for themselves. A collection of traditional Aboriginal paintings which spans decades and which displays the distinctive styles of two regions of Australia: the western desert and Arnhem Land. The paintings are simply presented to be easily appreciated, with brief notes on information provided by the artists themselves.
In Christian Mythology the serpent is credited with bringing evil and death into the world. In the Creation Mythology of many Aboriginal societies, the Rainbow Serpent is not only responsible for the creation of the landscape, but is important in regeneration and birth in both animals and humans. A reconciliation of the cultures and spiritualities which produced these opposing beliefs has been central to Miriam-Rose's life and art.

Wally Carvana Book Christine Nicholls Book Mudrooroo Book
A.W. Reed Book
Aboriginal artists today practice in the world's longest continuous tradition of art. Widely sought after, Aboriginal art has now taken its place in the collections of the great museums and galleries. This is the first concise survey of the full range of the work of Australia's indigenous artists from all parts of the continent. Building on traditions that stretch back at least fifty millennia, these artists have worked in a variety of contexts, from the sacred realm of ceremony to more public spheres, and in media that include painting, sculpture, engraving, constructions, weaving, and-most recently-photography, printmaking, and textile design. The second edition includes additional illustrations and a new section covering the most recent developments in Aboriginal art. Back to top
Indigenous Australian art today is recognised throughout Australia and the world for its strength and vitality. In her book, Art, Land, Story, recognised Indigenous art expert, Christine Nicholls looks at some of the traditions this art has come from and emphasises the continuous links between Indigenous art, place and "The Dreaming" - the central core of Indigenous Law and religion.
Sections on body painting, art from the Central and Western deserts and rarrk painting from Arnhem Land, highlight the extraordinary diversity that is, and always has been, a hallmark of Indigenous Australian art.

Mudrooroo presents a wide-ranging critical survey of the literature, both oral and written, of the indigenous people of Australia. As both a leading authority on Aboriginal writing and as an Aboriginal writer himself, Mudrooroo is in a unique position both to tell the history of indigenous literature, and also to comment on the key writers and texts. As well as telling the story of indigenous writing, Mudrooroo gives special attention to the major Aboriginal writers of the last thirty years - Oodgeroo of the Tribe Noonuccal, Lionel Fogarty, Kevin Gilbert, Jack Davis and himself. He also looks at the different genres of indigenous writing - songlines, poetry, plays, novels, life writing and, latterly, the musical Bran Nue Dae and the "pop" songs of Yothu Yindi and Archie Roach. But this is not just a descriptive work. It is a book that takes strong positions on many of the controversies of the day: What is indigenous writing? What is an indigenous writer? How should indigenous books be published and edited?
ISBN-13: 9781864470147
Presents a wealth of poetic and imaginative tales from Aboriginal cultural heritage.

The emphasis throughout the book is on the mystical bond that existed between Aborigines, their environment, and the spirit life of the Dreamtime.
