Description:
A remarkable catalogue showcasing the collaborative effort between 15 Kunwinjku artists of the Injalak Arts and Crafts Association in Gunbalanya (Oenpelli), Western Arnhem Land. Commissioned by John W. Kluge, this collection documents 45 paintings depicting sacred and ancestral Dreaming stories of deep cultural significance.
The book explores materials and techniques such as cross-hatching, ochre, and bark painting, while presenting biographies and contextual insights into the artists' practices. Lavishly illustrated with full-colour reproductions, Kunwinjku Art from Injalak is a significant record of cultural transmission and collaboration, grounded in the traditions of Kunwinjku Country.
An essential resource for those interested in First Nations art, Aboriginal painting, Arnhem Land culture, and museum studies.
