Contemporary
Aboriginal Art
A guide to the rebirth
of an ancient culture
Susan McCulloch
"A unique mix of art and guide book." Margo Neale, National Museum of Australia
A glorious illustrated guide to Australia's 20 major art producing communities, prefaced by a description of each region and
a history of the development of Aboriginal art over the last 27 years.
New forms of traditionally based Aboriginal art have become Australia's most dynamic visual art and are appreciated
worldwide.
In this updated edition of Contemporary Aboriginal Art, art writer Susan McCulloch explores the regional differences and modern history of this unique work.
She places in a historical and cultural perspective the art of some twenty land-based regions, as well as outlining developments in urban areas and giving biographies of the major artists. She also includes practical information on the art's production and where it is best to see and buy it.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, this book is an essential guide for anyone interested in the exciting revival of one of the world's most ancient artistic traditions.
