Originating at the Herbert Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, and then traveling (including to The Fowler Museum at UCLA in Los Angeles, California). "This is the first exhibition and book to focus on the founding expressions of Papunya art. It examines their origins in the paintings produced in Papunya in the Western Desert during the years 1971 to 1973, after the Sydney schoolteacher Geoffrey Bardon provided Aboriginal men with art materials and encouraged them to paint on masonite. They are the first painted works to transfer the designs of desert ceremonial imagery to a permanent surface." "Illustrated with full-color plates of the forty-nine exhibited works by such great artists as Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula, and Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri, this volume features numerous color figures of comparative works and documentary photographs of the original artists at work, some never before published, and a chronological catalog documenting the works' history and iconography, edited by project curator Roger Benjamin."
