Watercolour Country: 100 Works from Hermannsburg

This exhibition brings together one hundred watercolours made by Arrernte, Western Arrernte, and Kemarre/Loritja artists working at Hermannsburg, across generations. Among these are key new acquisitions by Albert Namatjira, one of Australia’s most well-known artists, whose landscapes are synonymous with the Central Australian outback.

This collection represents the ethereal beauty of Arrernte Country and the cultural stories that are embedded within the landscape, depicted throughout history and into current day. A range of enduring subjects, including distant eucalypt trees, the blue mountains, rock formations, and slender ghost gums, come together to create a unified and comprehensive depiction of these distinctive traditional lands.
