Legacy of
Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri |
|
 | Rebecca Hossack and Clifford Possum at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery, 1990 | |
|
As our XXXVIII Songlines Season continues, we celebrate not only the works of Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi, but also spotlight the paintings of her father, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri.
When acrylic painting was introduced to Papunya in the early 1970s, Clifford Possum became one of the first artists to embrace this new medium to record and preserve ancestral traditions. He was one of the key figures in the group that established the Western Desert Art Movement as one of the most significant forces in contemporary art. His legacy continues to inspire generations today.
We invite you to discover these remarkable works below. |
