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 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.

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.
