Description

This is a book of portrait studies of more than 80 senior artists of the Western Desert art movement. Each stunning full-page portrait, reproduced in duotone, is accompanied on its opposite page by an example of the artists work. The photographers have made a number of journeys to significant Indigenous communities located west of Alice Springs and thence into the north of Western Australia these include: Haasts Bluff, Kintore, Papunya, and Yuendumu to name a few. The story of the numerous meetings with the artists, including opportunities to create their portraits and consolidate friendships, is included in the book. (Macmillan Art Publishing, 2011).
