"The Aboriginal artists of the Balgo Hills are considered by many to be the most innovative and daring painters working in Central Australia at present. Their work is characterised by a vivid use of colour and a strong iconic sense." "In the early years of the community's artistic development, the artists remained closely linked with their traditional Dreaming stories and their birth terrain. Latterly, as the artists have become more self-conscious of their mastery over modern art materials, a new emphasis has begun to emerge: that of a more fluid and evocative use of traditional symbols in the fulfilment of their work." "This new book explores the work of the best artists currently or recently working at Balgo Hills."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
