Geoffrey Bardon, James Bardon

Gebundenes Buch

Papunya

A Place: The Beginnings of the Western Desert Painting Movement

Beschreibung

This book features over 500 paintings, drawings and photographs from Bardon's personal archive. Many of the images have never been seen before and many of the paintings are now lost. The publication of this material is an unprecedented achievement, and Bardon can now be seen as the catalyst he was for a powerfully modern expression of an ancient indigenous way of seeing the world.

Autor

Geoffrey Bardon studied law and art education. In 1971, he took up a posting to Papunya in the Northern Territory, Australia. He worked closely with the Aboriginal painters who became the founders of the Papunya Tula painting movement during 1971 to 1973, and devoted many years after this to documenting and promoting the Aboriginal art he so admired. He died in 2003. His brother James helped realise this, Geoffrey's last book.
