The Wanarn Painters of Place and Time: Old Age Travels in the Tjukurrpa by Darren Jorgensen, David Brooks

lauredhel's review

4.0

Very interesting discussion of the interaction of old age, tremor, failing vision with the production of art; and of the knowledge of tjukurrpa and the glimpses art provides into that enormous world. However I confess to having a bit of a side-eye at the jargon-laden, European-philosophy-infused aspects of the discussion, which are opaque to everyone but those heavily tertiary educated in Western art history. I believe that this knowledge and conversation should be more accessible, especially to those whose culture it is about in the first place.
