Australian indigenous & oceanic art
Art, Design & Photography History Australiana
Australian Indigenous & Oceanic Art by Helen Read and Mossgreen gathers 120 pages of striking images that trace Aboriginal painting, sculpture and ceremonial objects alongside works from neighbouring Pacific cultures. Issued in 2016 to accompany a touring exhibition, this softcover picture book doubles as a compact reference for collectors and first-time explorers of Australia’s ancient visual heritage.
Rich full-colour plates capture the ochres of the Western Desert, the delicate bark paintings of Arnhem Land and the bold patterns of Oceanic shields, while concise captions explain clan stories, techniques and market notes. The approachable narrative suits young adults discovering Indigenous studies yet offers enough curatorial detail to satisfy seasoned antiquarians tracking provenance and value.
