The impact that Albert Namatjira had on Australian landscape painting is so significant that it led to him being named the ‘first Aboriginal citizen’, post-colonisation. His landscapes are characterized by their vibrancy and energetic colours.
The contemporary works of the Ngurratjuta Many Hands watercolourists carry on a great tradition that portrays the unique landscape of the West MacDonald Ranges. The exhibition features work by Albert Namatjira Jnr, Hilary Wirri, Lenie Namatjira, Johannes Katakarinja, Ivy Pareroultja, Hubert Pareroultja, Elton Wirri, Kevin Wirri, Gloria Pannka, Peter Taylor, Kevin Namatjira and Douglas Abbott.
