Seller's Description:
VG (rubbing to corners; spine ends & edges rubbed. ) Color-illustrated boards with yellow and white lettering; 176 pp. with 50 color plates and numerous additional figures; with supplement in back pocket. The art of Papunya has a continuity with mark-making, song cycles, and storytelling that precedes the invention of cuneiform writing in the Fertile Crescent or hieroglyphics in Egypt. The men who made these paintings adapted their art to changing conditions, reasserting the oldest continuous culture in the world. A stunning look at this aboriginal art of the Western Desert of Australia.
