In 1971, a hopeful young art teacher drove the long, lonely road
from Alice Springs to the Aboriginal outpost settlement at Papunya.
His name was Geoffrey Bardon. Eighteen months later he left
Papunya, defeated by the hostile white authority. But his legacy
was the beginnings of the Western Desert Painting Movement and the
inspiration for this fascinating account of Bardon's experiences
and the Aboriginal art of Papunya. What started as an exercise to
encourage the Aboriginal schoolchildren to record their sand
patterns and games grew to involve, at the peak of creativity, as
many as 30 tribal men and elders. With Geoffrey Bardon's
encouragement, these men worked to preserve their traditional
Dreamings and stories in paint. The artistic movement unleashed at
Papunya spread over Central Australia and has since achieved
international acclaim. Papunya: A Place Made After the Story is a
first-hand account of the artists and the works emanating from
Papunya. Bardon's exquisitely recorded notes and drawings are here
reproduced showing his extensive documentation of the early stages
of the painting movement. This book features over 500 paintings,
drawings and photographs from Bardon's personal archive. Many of
the images have never been seen before and many of the paintings
are now lost. The publication of this material is an unprecedented
achievement, and Bardon can now be seen as the catalyst he was for
a powerfully modern expression of an ancient indigenous way of
seeing the world.
