Artist Information
Bush Men
In this historical picture relating to events of at least 100 years ago before white men came to the central desert region of Australia, Gladdy Kemarre depicts the confrontations of the Anmatyerre and Alywarre men with other people of the desert. The confrontations were either conciliatory or aggressive.
There are scenes of people meeting, talking and sharing tucker together and of hunting and fighting. The varying background colour represents the different tracts of the country.
