| whatever material available. The art works have now been freed from ritual constraints by the use of non-traditional |
| materials. The acrylic paintings reproduced here reflect both a secular range of themes and the diversity of artistic |
| approaches and experimentation characteristic of Balgo art.) (Keywords: Walmajarri, Kukatja, Warlpiri, Nungurayai, |

Australia. BNo.: |
| 90-5703-61-18. First Edition, 1999. Pp: 144; 265mm x235mm; 1.08kg. 55 col. Bibliography. A very good copy in dust |
| wrapper. Craftsman House, North Ryde, NSW, 1999. (In the early years of the Aboriginal community's artistic |
| development at Balgo Hills, Central Australia, the artists remained closely linked with their traditional Dreaming |
| stories and their birth terrain. In the second half of the 1990s as the artists have become more self-conscious of their |
| mastery over modern art materials, a new emphasis has begun to emerge: that of a more fluid and evocative use of |
| traditional symbols in the fulfilment of their work. This book explores the work of the best artists currently or recently |
|
working at Balgo Hills.)
