My Mother Country (Bilingual edition): Aboriginal Dot Painting
My Mother Country (Bilingual edition): Aboriginal Dot Painting
The collection of Joelle and Pierre Clement includes Australian painters whose work draws on Aboriginal culture and traditions. This catalog by Kunsthaus Zug features 80 works by 50 artists from the collection, as well as paintings by Emily Kame Kngwarreye. The image and text contributions allow for an in-depth examination of the color-intensive, supposedly abstract painting and shed light on the diverse artistic positions as well as the different peoples and regions of Central Australia. With their dot paintings, the painters translate their millennia-old culture between traditional mythology and postcolonial reality into fascinating images created for international viewers.
The publication brings together 50 painters, including established names such as Kathleen Petyarre and Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, as well as lesser-known positions. One focus is on the works of EMILY KAME KNGWARREYE (1910-1996).
