An updated and expanded edition of this classic survey, which has established itself as a superlative introduction to the full diversity of Aboriginal art.
This concise survey showcases the incredible, diverse work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait artists. Building on traditions that stretch back at least 50,000 years, these artists have long worked in a variety of contexts from the sacred and secret realm of ceremony to more public spheres.
From isolated beginnings to postcolonialism and the present, Wally Caruana explains how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art has continually developed and responded to change; and considers the impact of urban living, the growth of local art centers that support the artists in these communities, and the recognition of women artists.
This new edition has been expanded and updated to include and reflect on important artists who have emerged in the last decade, with a focus on the burgeoning of activity in the Southern Desert region, Queensland, and the Torres Strait Islands―all testament to Aboriginal art’s continued dynamism and vitality.
