AUSTRALIAN ART ABORIGINAL

This is the 50,000 year story of Australian Aboriginal Rock Art of Arnhem Land. JOURNEY IN TIME explores the depth and complexity of this art tradition and gives a fascinating insight into the aesthetic and cultural worlds of the people who created it. The most authoritative book ever published on this subject. It has been written and illustrated with the permission of the Gagudju people, the traditional owners of the land.

Aboriginal rock art, as practised in Arnhem Land, is the world’s longest continuing art tradition. It is a tradition that is not merely decorative, but provides a journey in time – a pictoral record of the longest surviving culture on earth.
