About
Since the 1970s, Australia’s arid interior has been redefined by Aboriginal artists as a place of great natural and cultural vibrancy. In ‘Desert colours’, works by some of the best known ‘colour painters’ from the Central and Western Desert attest to their spiritual connection to Desert Country, culture and life in the region and the brilliance of its landscape.
