A biography of one of Australia's most distinctive and appealing contemporary visual artists, this book chronicles Ian W. Abdulla's paintings of Aboriginal life. Discussed is how Abdulla's works were made with his children in mind and how they ensure that the stories of his people are captured for wide audiences now and for generations to come. Further discussion is given to his artistic style, which is considered simple but highly evocative.
