  • Barbara Weir Barbara Weir Was Born About 1945 at Bundey River Station
    Barbara Weir Barbara Weir was born about 1945 at Bundey River Station, a cattle station in the Utopia region (called Urupunta in the local Aboriginal language) of the Northern Territory. Her parents were Minnie Pwerle, an Aboriginal woman, and JacK Weir, a married Irish man. Under the anti-miscegenation racial laws of the time, their relationship was illegal, and the two were jailed. Jack Weir died not long after his release. Minnie Pwerle named their daughter Barbara Weir. Barbara was partly raised by Pwerle’s sister-in-law Emily Kngwarreye. (After age 80, Kngwarreye tooK up art and became one of Australia’s most prominent artists.) Barbara grew up in the area of Utopia until about age nine. One of the Stolen Generations, she was forcibly removed from her Aboriginal family by officials; the family believed she was later Killed. This was done under the Aborigines Protection Amending Act 1915, government or assigned officers were authorized in the territories to take half-caste children to be raised in British institutions to assimilate them to European culture. Some, liKe Barbara, were “fostered out”, and she grew up in a series of foster homes in Alice Springs, Victoria, and Darwin. Boys were usually prepared for manual jobs and girls for domestic service. In Darwin, at age 18 and worKing as a maid, Barbara Weir married Mervyn Torres. It was Torres who in 1963 or 1968, when passing through Alice Springs, asKed someone about Weir’s mother; he discovered that Minnie Pwerle was alive and living at Utopia.

    2014 » 02 » THE DEALER IS THE DEVIL Follow 4,786 followers The eye-catching cover for Adrian Newstead's book - the young dealer with Abie Jangala in Lajamanu Posted by Jeremy Eccles | 13.02.14 Author: Jeremy Eccles News source: Review Adrian Newstead is probably uniquely qualified to write a history of that contentious business, the market for Australian Aboriginal art. He may once have planned to be an agricultural scientist, but then he mutated into a craft shop owner, Aboriginal art and craft dealer, art auctioneer, writer, marketer, promoter and finally Indigenous art politician – his views sought frequently by the media. He's been around the scene since 1981 and says he held his first Tiwi craft exhibition at the gloriously named Coo-ee Emporium in 1982. He's met and argued with most of the players since then, having particularly strong relations with the Tiwi Islands, Lajamanu and one of the few inspiring Southern Aboriginal leaders, Guboo Ted Thomas from the Yuin lands south of Sydney. His heart is in the right place. And now he's found time over the past 7 years to write a 500 page tome with an alluring cover that introduces the writer as a young Indiana Jones blasting his way through deserts and forests to reach the Holy Grail of Indigenous culture as Warlpiri master Abie Jangala illuminates a canvas/story with his eloquent finger – just as the increasingly mythical Geoffrey Bardon (much to my surprise) is quoted as revealing, “Aboriginal art is derived more from touch than sight”, he's quoted as saying, “coming as it does from fingers making marks in the sand”.

  • Artist Overview .Com.Au
    Artist Overview .com.au MINNIE PWERLE If your not very familiar with Indigenous art I believe its still safe to say you would have hear of Minnie Pwerle. Art dealer Hank Ebes described Minnie’s work as ‘genius’ and Minnie is considered to be one of Australia’s best-known Indigenous artists. Minnie Pwerle was born in C1920’s north east of Alice Springs. She was one of six children. Interestingly she didn’t start painting commer- cially until 10 years before her death when artist Lindsay Bird Mpetyane suggested Utpoian woman paint on canvas using acrylic paint. It was then in her late 80’s that Minnie started to paint her traditional designs and the Bush Melon Dreaming which she inherited. She was an immediate success as her bold and deeply mesmerising depictions appealed to audiences around the world. Minnie’s art was quickly added to major public collections such as the Art Gallery of NSW, Art Gallery of South Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and Queensland Art Gallery. It was also included in a 2009 exhibition of Indigenous Australian painting at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her works later formed the basis of a series of designer rugs. Regarded as one of Australia’s leading contemporary women artists, Minnie ranks alongside other notable Indigenous female painters Dor- othy Napangardi, Gloria Petyarre and Kathleen Petyarre. One of a number of women such as Emily Kngwarreye who dominated central and western desert painting in the first decade of the 21st century, Minnie is considered to be one of Australia’s best-known Indigenous artists, whose work “the market couldn’t get enough of”.
