| Summary: |
Hetti Perkins, who stars in the prime-time ABC TV series by the same name, takes readers on a personal journey of discovery into a world of ideas and the imagination of leading Aboriginal artists around Australia. She travels from the startlingly beautiful landscapes of remote Arnhem land to Sydney and from saltwater country to the desert heartlands of Central Australia.
Lavishly illustrated, this companion book to the prime-time ABC TV series in Australia of the same name captures the remarkable energy and diversity of Aboriginal art. From the Papunya Tula Artists to the renowned art movement that had its humble beginnings in the early 1970s to Rover Thomas and his heirs' phenomenal achievements in the East Kimberley, this account includes interviews with the artists as they share their heartfelt, intimate, and sometimes political stories. Featuring the work of Brenda L. Croft, Destiny Deacon, and Michael Riley, as well as that of the celebrated Emily Kam Ngwarray, this art book and travelogue presents Australia's powerful artworks past and present. |
