  • Double Lives : Rex Battarbee & Albert Namatjira
    Double Lives Double Lives : Rex Battarbee & Albert Namatjira Martin Edmond Thesis for a Doctorate of Creative Arts The University of Western Sydney July 26, 2013 Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree in this or any other institution. signed: ……………………………………… Acknowledgments I would like to thank Nigel Roberts for the generous gift of his archive of research materials; Ivor Indyk for wise supervision; Nick Jose for intelligent readings; Gayle Quarmby for the conversations; Stephen Williamson at the Araluen Centre and Nic Brown at Flinders University Art Musuem for showing me the works; all those at Ngarrutjuta / Many Hands; Maggie Hall for her constant support. Abstract This thesis consists of a creative component which is a dual biography of the two water colour painters, Rex Battarbee and Albert Namatjira, whose relationship was to have a decisive impact on Australian art; and an exegesis which describes the process of the making of that biography in such a way as to illuminate the issues, contentious or otherwise, that may arise during the progress of a biographical inquiry. The dual biography is focussed upon the public lives of the two men, one white Australian, the other Indigenous Australian of the Arrernte people, and especially upon their professional activities as painters. It is not an exercise in psychological inquiry nor an attempt to disclose the private selves of the two artists; rather, my interest is in describing the means by which each man found his calling as an artist; the relationship, life-long, which developed between them; the times in which they lived and how this affected the courses of their lives; and the results of their work in the public sphere.

  • Autumn Suite
    PENRITH REGIONAL GALLERY & THE LEWERS BEQUEST AUTUMN SUITE A celebration of Aboriginal culture and philanthropy 27 February – 22 May 2016 AUTUMN SUITE Introduction Palya!* Welcome to Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest Autumn Suite for 2016. This suite of exhibitions is a celebration of Aboriginal art and culture, and, of philanthropy. They include Punuku Tjukurpa, an exhibition of wooden carvings by Indigenous artists from central Australia (Main Gallery); The Red House, a series of paintings about land and cross-cultural perception, by Sydney artist Hayley Megan French (Lewers House); and Celebrating Philanthropy, art works gifted to the Gallery by Robin Gurr (Lounge Room Gallery). Punuku Tjukurpa is an exhibition developed by Artback NT in association with Maruku Arts. It showcases a rich history, both secular and sacred, through examples of punu and walka boards curated from the archive of Maruku Arts based at Mutitjulu, near Uluru in the Northern Territory. Punuku Tjukurpa includes works made by three generations of Anangu (central and western desert people) artists for whom the tradition of wood carving and painting has been passed down. Integral to the imparting of these physical skills to the next generation is the teaching of the stories which form the basis for the intricate designs and markings. Works include piti (wooden bowls), miru (spear throwers), tjara (shields), kulata (spears) and beautiful carvings of desert birds and animals. The title of the exhibition, Punuku Tjukurpa, describes the story and the law behind these works. As explained by Louise Partos, Executive Officer of Artback NT, “Punuku Tjukurpa offers a privileged insight into one of Australia’s finest art movements and is an exhibition of national significance.
