A superlative introduction to the diversity of Aboriginal art, this
concise survey introduces the work of Australiaās indigenous artists
from all parts of the continent. For some 50,000 years, Aboriginal
artists have built on traditions and worked in a variety of contexts,
from the sacred and secret realm of ceremony to more public spheres,
and in media that include painting, sculpture, engraving, constructions,
weaving, photography, printmaking, and textile design.
For the revised edition, a new chapter maps the latest developments
across each of Australiaās geographical regions. Updated information and
some twenty new illustrations highlight the impact of urban living, the
growth of local art centers, and the rise of women artistsāall testifying
to Aboriginal artās continued dynamism and vitality.
