Portrait of Albert Namatjira 1956. A biographical Sketch Illustrations

The Heritage of Namatjira is the first comprehensive survey of the massive output of watercolours by the Aranda (Arrernte) artists of Central Australia. Having as itw genesis the first attempts in 1394 of Albert Namatjira to follow the example of European painters, notably the Victorian-born Rex Battarbee, the tradition of watercolour painting is still being maintained by the descendants of Albert and his contemporaries. Twelve contributors -- anthropologists, historians, art critics and collectors -- review the history and stylistic development fo the Hermannsburg watercolourists since the Finke River Mission's establishment in 1877, against a background of upheaval in Western Aranda culture. They chronicle the changing critical attitudes to the watercolours and their fluctuating fortunes in the art market, and assess the present role of the paintings within contemporary Aboriginal society. With its wealth of illustrations (many previously unpublished), biographical and bibliographical information, The Heritage of Namatjira, which as been prepared with the full cooperation of the Aboriginal artists and communities concerned, will remain as a lasting tribute to more than a century of Western Aranda art and tradition.

Very Good paperback with light shelfwear - NICE! Oversized.

Paperback. Battarbee and Namatjira is the biography of two artists Rex Battarbee and Albert Namatjira, one white Australian from Warrnambool in Victoria, the other Aboriginal, of the Arrernte people, from the Hermannsburg Mission south of Alice Springs. From their first encounters in the early 1930s, when Battarbee introduced Namatjira to the techniques of water-colour painting, through the period of Namatjira's popularity as a painter, to the tragic circumstances leading to his death in 1959, their close relationship was to have a decisive impact on Australian art. This biography, illustrated with photographs, makes extensive use of Battarbee's diaries for the first time, to throw new light on Namatjira's life, and to bring Battarbee, who has been largely ignored by biographers, back into focus. Some of its findings will be controversial. By moving between the artists and their backgrounds, and looking closely at the nature of their friendship, Edmond is able to portray the personal and social complexities the two men faced, while at the same time illuminating larger cultural themes the treatment of the Arrernte and Indigenous people generally, the influence of the Lutheran church, the development of anthropology, and the evolution of Australian art.
