Description:... "Tjukurrtjanu: origins of Western Desert art celebrates the work of twenty of the original artists who began painting at Papunya forty years ago. The Papunya artists' bold initial experiments, in committing ceremonial designs that are tjukurrtjanu (from the dreaming) onto board, marked the beginning of a modern painting movement that would change the face of Australian art forever."--Cover.
