A superlative introduction to the diversity of Aboriginal art, this concise survey introduces the work of Australia's indigenous artists from all parts of the continent. For some 50,000 years, Aboriginal artists have built on traditions and worked in a variety of contexts, from the sacred and secret realm of ceremony to more public spheres, and in media that include painting, sculpture, engraving, constructions, weaving, photography, printmaking, and textile design.

For the revised third edition, a new chapter maps the latest developments across each of Australia's geographical regions. Updated information and some 20 new illustrations highlight the impact of urban living, the growth of local art centers, and the rise of women artists - all testifying to Aboriginal art's continued dynamism and vitality.

Wally Caruana was Senior Curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, from 1984 to 2001.

An introduction to the vast world of traditional Aboriginal art: rock engravings, cave and bark paintings, decorative and symbolic designs both sacred and secular.

This useful design source book provides a source of ideas and inspiration for various craftspeople and artists. It presents designs that can be used as stencil or embroidery patterns, stationery designs, furniture decoration, glass painting guides or whatever your imagination chooses. It can also be photocopied, traced, coloured, and used for your own designs.

This book traces the history of Australian art from the settlers of Australia, the colonials trying to recreate their image of home in a foreign landscape, to postmodern artists blurring the boundaries between mediums as well as traditional themes. In this new critical survey, Christopher Allen provides a crucial nexus of historical and cultural information particular to the continent, dividing the book into six provocative chapters on Colonization, Settlement, Unsettlement, The Uninhabitable, Escape Routes, and Homeless. Acknowledging the unique social and geographical circumstances of the country, Allen argues that Australian art does indeed have a history of its own: the history of a society uprooted and transplanted, a history of strangeness and transformative beauty.

A study of one of this century's most important Australian landscape painters.

51 min. pal vhs.

The landscapes of the Australian painter Arthur Boyd (b. 1920) have a rough sensuality that is raw and pure as the primeval wilderness he depicts. This film shows the artist at work and reflects on his obsession with man’s relation to the environment.

This book explores how Aboriginal painting has undergone a renaissance over the past two decades as Aboriginal artists express the strength and resilience of their ancient religious values in their paintings, as well as their deep connection to the Australian landscape itself.

It presents an overview of traditional Australian Aboriginal "religious" paintings, based on the Dreaming, the Tjukurrpa, the Wonggar, the Creation, but expressed now, in present day Australia.

Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri was one of Australia's most distinguished painters of the late twentieth century. A pioneer of dot painting in the Western Desert of central Australia, he soon became a leader of this important movement of Indigenous art. His inherited dreaming stories, embodied in symmetrical designs within cultural 'maps', hold important and potent meaning for his own people but the uninitiated, equally, can feel their power and appreciate their extraordinary pictorial beauty.

Mit >SPIRIT & VISION – Aboriginal Art< bot die österreichische Sammlung Essl nach der erfolgreichen, 2001 präsentierten Ausstellung >DREAMTIME< vom 02.04. – 03.10.2004 neue Einblicke in die Kunst der Aboriginal People Australiens. Neben der Präsentation traditioneller Aboriginal Art standen Tendenzen in Richtung Neuer Medien, der sogenannten Urban Art, im Mittelpunkt der Ausstellung.

Die Aboriginal Kultur ist die älteste lebende Kultur der Welt. Die Kunst der Aboriginal People erlebte in den letzten 40 Jahren eine drastische Veränderung. Für viele Künstler wurden Anpassungsfähigkeit und Wandel überlebensnotwendig – sie änderten Farben, Maße und Materialien, aber nicht die dahinter stehenden Ideen, nicht den Geist. Die Geschichten über die Erschaffung der Welt werden in der Sprache der jeweiligen Zeit erzählt und bahnen sich in wechselnder Gestalt einen Weg in die Zukunft.
 

>SPIRIT & VISION – Aboriginal Art< zeigte sowohl Werke, die in den Outbacks entstanden sind, als auch solche aus den Städten, Arbeitsstätte der so genannten Urban Artists. Diese Künstler sind stärker von der westlichen Kunst beeinflusst und verwenden ein weites Spektrum künstlerischer Medien, darunter Fotografie, Video, Computeranimation und Installationen. Viele der in diesem umfangreichen Ausstellungskatalog dargestellten Arbeiten beleuchten neben anderen Themen auch die urbanen Lebensumstände. Sie sind eine Art Kommentar der "Basis" zur Situation der Aboriginal People in den australischen Städten. 130 Werke von 94 Künstlern spannen einen breiten Bogen von vielfältigen Arbeiten, geschaffen von Künstlern unterschiedlicher Herkunft.

Die junge, urbane Kunst wurde in der Ausstellung traditionellen "alten Meistern" gegenübergestellt; sie schöpfen aus dem reichen Schatz der Ahnen. Leinwandarbeiten, barks (Rinden), Schnitz- und Flechtarbeiten sowie Fotografie und Video verdeutlichen das weite Feld medialer Möglichkeiten, das heute von den Aboriginal Künstlern in Australien genutzt wird.

The tome includes various essays on the venerated British landscape painter.

Published on the occasion of a comprehensive exhibition of Aboriginal art at the Essl Museum in Vienna in 2015, it is a catalogue of some of the works that were displayed which were created by the indigenous population of Australia.

The works that were on show are owned by the Essl collection and include important and seminal Aboriginal artists, including Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Rover Julama Thomas und Queenie McKenzie Nakarra, as well as younger artists such as Destiny Deacon.

The Essl Museum boasts one of Europe's most significant collections of Aboriginal art. It was acquired during several extended trips to Australia by the art collector Karlheinz Essl, who intensely explored the art and culture of the Aboriginal people. With its exhibitions 'Dreamtime' (2001) and 'Spirit & Vision' (2004), curated by Michael Eather, the Museum had already provided deep insights into contemporary Aboriginal Art in Australia.
