Cover Text

Contemporary Aboriginal art finds its origins in the world's oldest continuing culture. Country of the Dreaming gives an overview from the beginnings of the contemporary art movement, born in the early 1970s, to some of its most recent developments which resonate with very actual issues such as cultural identity and ecology. The book offers a thorough and passionate introduction to the art of the first inhabitants of many remote locations across Australia. It also provides a fascinating insight in their culture and belief systems upon which most of contemporary Aboriginal art is based. Assembled in this reference work, Country of the Dreaming, are texts by a number of the most prominent scholars of Indigenous Australian art. It is richly illustrated with works from the Collection Bérangère Primat, one of the most comprehensive collections of contemporary Indigenous Australian art in Europe.
