This review is from: Icons of the Desert: Early Aboriginal Paintings from Papunya [With Supplement] (Distributed for the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University) (Hardcover)
This book effectively tells the story of the beginning of an art movement. I was especially interested in the non-sensational way in which certain aspects of Aboriginal life were revealed in relation to the art that was produced, such as the open attitude toward sexuality, the concept of the viewing of certain paintings being fobidden to certain people, and the painter's covering of certain subjects that he had painted by lines of dots or other methods.
Perhaps it was out of the range of this book, but I missed a look into the creative life of Aboriginal women. |
