Book Description
Emily loved using exuberantly rich and vibrant colours, and her compositions of expressive dots and animated lines were always energetic and exciting. She worked in many different styles but her spirited gestures always reflected some aspect of her Dreamings and Alhalkere country for which she was a custodian.

Remembering Forward
Author: Museum Ludwig
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781907372148
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Remembering Forward presents works by nine of the most prominent Australian Aboriginal artists: Paddy Bedford, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Queenie McKenzie, Dorothy Napangardi, Rover Thomas, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri and Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula. Their works are situated in, and generate, a peculiar tension between traditional and modern and past and present. On the one hand, they usually take as their subject the so called 'Dreamtime' of prehistory from which myths of the earth's and humankind's creation have been handed down. In that regard they are deeply traditional. On the other, these artists have radically changed their medium and method of art-making over the last forty years. Inherited practices of sand- and body-painting have been transformed such that the paintings are executed in acrylic on canvas or other portable media. These changes afforded the artists entry to the global art market. Thus they have adjusted to address an outside public and keep the images free of those parts of the Dreamings that, in their own culture, are reserved for the initiated.

Emily Kngwarreye Paintings

ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
"Emily Kame Kngwarreye (c. 1910-1996) was a senior member of the Anmatyerre community resident at Utopia, a former cattle station, now reclaimed by its Aboriginal land owners. She is widely regarded as one of the most notable Aboriginal artists of recent times and the pre-eminent woman artist of the desert region. The remarkable painterly and conceptual originality of her work extended her influence well beyond the previous reach of contemporary Aboriginal art and attracted widespread international interest." "This book looks at Emily Kngwarreye's paintings from very different viewpoints: Jennifer Isaacs approaches and explains their meaning as part of Anmatyerre women's culture, and gives a history of the art's development and patronage; Terry Smith examines the works as forming part of the leading edge of contemporary abstract painting; Judith Ryan describes and explores the major works by Emily Kngwarreye from the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria; and Donald and Janet Holt give personal accounts of Emily's art and life at Delmore Downs Station." --Book Jacket.

Beyond Sacred
Author: Colin Laverty
Publisher: Hardie Grant
ISBN: 9781740665704
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Interest in Aboriginal art has grown exponentially over the past few decades, both in Australia and around the world. No longer seen as simply ethnographic, traditional Aboriginal art has evolved into one of the most exciting new forms of modern art. Beyond Sacred: Recent painting from Australia's remote Aboriginal communities is a comprehensive, visually stunning survey of recent Aboriginal art. Ranging across Western Australia and the Northern Territory, from the well-known art centres of Papunya and Utopia to the lesser known communities of Maningrida and Bidyadanga, this book tells the story of Aboriginal art and its growing presence in the contemporary art scene. Strikingly illustrated and lavishly produced, Beyond Sacred: Recent painting from Australia's remote Aboriginal communities features more than 250 paintings and drawings. Works are featured from internationally renowned artists such as Rover Thomas, Emily Kngwarreye and John Mawurndjul as well as from newer discoveries such as Alma Webou and Christine Yukenbarri. It is a major survey of contemporary Aboriginal art in Australia and will inspire the experienced collector and novice alike. Colin and Elizabeth Laverty are collectors with a passion for contemporary art and they have acquired the works featured in the book over the past 20 years. The works have been exhibited in museums and contemporary art galleries throughout Australia and overseas and have been described as the most important private collection of Indigenous art in the country (Nicholas Rothwell, Art writer at The Australian). These paintings are increasingly being hung in contemporary art museums where they more than hold their own with non-Indigenous contemporary art.
