Nanyuma Napangati (Aborigine, born c.1944) Untitled Acrylic on linen, numbered 1508051 and inscribed with artist's name verso 61 x 91cm, unframed Provenance: Wartenberg, Utopia Art, Sydney and thence inherited by the present owner. The art of the Australian Aborigines is widely recognised as being the oldest art form in the world, preceding that of the Americas and Europe by many centuries. For thousands of years, however, the only art forms practised by the Aborigines were rock painting and carving, bark painting, sand painting and body painting using natural ochres, wild desert cotton, charcoal and birds' down, often carried out as part of ceremonial activities. It was not until 1971 that the Aborigines of the Papunya Tula settlement in the deserts of the Northern Territory were introduced to methods of painting on canvas and board using modern materials. Condition report: Condition appears fine. Unframed.
