James Fox on the paintings of Albert Namatjira
Dr James Fox examines three key Namatjira watercolours, housed at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.
Albert Namatjira was a pioneer of Indigenous Australian art who learned to paint aged 32. Lauded by critics and admired in galleries, his fans included a young Queen Elizabeth. His unique, Western-Aboriginal hybrid vision of the outback heralded the Indigenous art revival that ultimately re-imagined Australia.
