Australia''s Living Heritage


www.makingtracks.com.au
A whole lot more Australian art books on site.....
Price: AU$39.95

This is the classic book that first brought together the different facets of Aboriginal Art, from painting, sculpture, ceremony and dance, to the making of body ornaments, carved utensils and spun or woven articles for everyday use. For Aboriginal people these arts are a proud heritage that expresses the Dreaming. Jennifer Isaacs through her close ties with Aboriginal communities created this outstanding tribute to the unique work of their hands. Reg Morrison travelled extensively with the author to photograph the arts of Aboriginal Australians as they are practised today.
