Namatjira Legacy - Gallery 2 Feb 10, 2012 - Mar 14, 2012 The Western Aranda tradition of watercolour painting that famously began in 1934 with the meeting of Albert Namatjira and Rex Battarbee has left a rich legacy for future generations. The landscape paintings provided the first vision for a wider audience of the Aranda world and the dramatic locations around the Western MacDonnell Ranges. Namatjira taught his relatives and countrymen well, and a strong school of painting continues 74 years after the first successful exhibition of Albert's paintings. This exhibition brings together 14 artists including Kevin and Lenie Namatjira, Albert Namatjira jnr, Douglas Kwarlple, Ivy Pareroultja, and Elton Wirri. This exhibition is presented in association with Ngurratjuta Iltja Ntjarra.

Heirs and Successors - Gallery1 Feb 10, 2012 - Mar 14, 2012 Heirs and Successors follows the lineage through the next generations of artists who are carrying on the work of the significant painters from the canon of the Central Desert Indigenous art movement. The exhibition includes successors of Walangkura Napanangka, Ningura Napurrula, George Ward Tjungurrayi, Jimmy Baker, Minnie Pwerle and Ngoia Pollard. This is an opportunity to assess the work that follows in the footsteps of some of the great artists of Central Australia.
