Albert Namatjira – Valley Landscape with Gum Trees, early/mid-20th century gouache on panel, signed recto, gallery label verso, 15cm x 30.5cm, within a gilt frame. Note: Albert Namatjira (1902-1959) was a pioneering Aboriginal Australian artist known for his distinctive watercolour landscapes that captured the beauty of the Australian outback. Born Elea Namatjira and raised in the Hermannsburg Lutheran Mission in the Northern Territory, he was educated in both Aboriginal traditions and Western customs. Namatjira discovered his talent for painting in his mid-30s after meeting the artist Rex Battarbee, who was touring Central Australia. Battarbee taught him the techniques of watercolor painting, and Namatjira quickly developed a unique style that combined Western techniques with his deep spiritual connection to the land. His works vividly portrayed the rugged and vibrant landscapes of Central Australia, especially the MacDonnell Ranges, using soft hues and detailed brushwork. His art gained widespread acclaim, and by the 1940s, Namatjira had become one of Australia's most celebrated artists. He was the first Aboriginal Australian to achieve commercial success in the Western art world, holding numerous exhibitions across Australia. His fame also brought attention to the cultural and political issues faced by Aboriginal people at the time. Despite his success, Namatjira's life was marked by the complexities of navigating two cultures. Although he was granted limited citizenship rights in 1957, he still faced significant legal and social discrimination, pressed home in 1958 by his imprisonment for supplying alcohol to an Aboriginal person. Namatjira's legacy endures as a trailblazer in Australian art. His work not only opened doors for future Aboriginal artists but also helped to change perceptions of Aboriginal culture in Australia. Provenance: Artlovers' Gallery [Artarmon Galleries], Sydney, New South Wales, stock no. 20243; Sir John Galvin, thence by family descent. Exhibited: possibly Recent Paintings by Albert Namatjira and Leonard Long, A.R.A.S., Artlovers Gallery, Sydney, August 1958.

He worked with Geoffrey Bardon who went to Papunya in the early 1970s and was a key figure in this movement. He encouraged Aboriginal people to paint their dreaming stories on canvas, stories which had previously been depicted ephemerally on the ground. These spiritual and mystical works depicting ones' dreams are crucial in understanding this indigenous community. In 2002 Clifford was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia '... for service as a contributor to and pioneer of the development of the Western Desert art movement, and to the indigenous community through interpretation of ancient traditions and cultural values.'
