Vincent Namatjira /anglais

Bol

Reframing Australian history through the eyes of a prolific Indigenous artist, this is the first major monograph on Vincent Namatjira. Vincent Namatjira is an astute observer of life, of power, of popular culture. To be in the presence of a Vincent Namatjira painting is like being on the edge of a portal into another world. From the first page of this monograph, Vincent takes us on a journey through his artwork, contextualizing his iconic series on Indigenous soldiers, Indigenous leaders, power and the Royal Family, giving us an insight into his world view. The book includes essays by Lisa Slade, Nici Cumpston and Gloria Strzelecki from the Art Gallery of South Australia; Bruce Johnson McLean from the National Gallery of Australia; and Vincent's great friends and artistic collaborators Ben Quilty and Tony Albert. But most importantly, it is Vincent's voice as much as his artwork that resonates in high definition on the page.
