Bibliografia . 8vo pp. 140 Rilegato tela, sovracoperta (cloth, dust jacket) Molto Buono (Very Good) "The Papunya Painting Movement, born in the Western Desert in Northen Australia. In 1971 when Geoffrey Bardon, a young Sydney art teacher, was posted to the government settlement at Papunya he found more than a thousand Aboriginal people living in a state of dislocation and degradation. Bardon was not the first European to show interest in the traditional sand mosaics of these dispossessed people at Papunya, nor the first to recognise them as evidence of a powerful ancient culture. Anthropologists had studied them over many years, but Geoffrey Bardon's empathy with the artists and his parent tribal elders brought forth revelations in a great surge of creativity hitherto unseen by Europeans".
