Through widely researched biographies of more than 200 artists, this book chronicles the beginnings of the Western Desert art movement and the phenomenal development of its founding art company over four decades, illuminating lives balanced between first contact and international stardom, poverty and record auction prices.
Lavishly illustrated with portraits and artwork, this account celebrates the individual lives of the artists, showcasing the importance of what they share—family and country, significant sites, tjukurrpa (dreaming) and life histories.
