Ronnie Tjampitjinpa Tribal Art

Aboriginal Australian, 1942-2015

Ronnie Tjampitjinpa was born around 1943 at Tjiturrunya in the region near Munyenga about 100 km west of the Kintore Ranges in Western Australia. Tjampitjinpa’s family traveled extensively across Pintupi territory, moving throughout this region and also in the area around Wilkinkarra, which straddles Western Australia to the Northern Territory border. Tjampitjinpa was initiated into Aboriginal Law at Yumari, near his birthplace. After prolonged droughts in the 1950s, he moved with his family, first to Haasts Bluff, then to Papunya. Over the years, moving between Aboriginal communities stations, Tjampitjinpa talked to many people about returning to traditional lands, a move that was made possible with the establishment of Kintore in 1981. Tjampitjinpa moved there with his family in the early 1980s and has since emerged as one of Papunya Tula Artists' major painters.

Aboriginal Painting by Makinti Napananka (1930-2011), Australia
Located in NICE, FR
ABOUT THE WORK Makinti primarily paints episodes from the Dreamtime, featuring the ancestral women, Kungka Kutjarra, drawing particular inspiration from motifs associated with the site of Lupulnga. Her artworks are characterized by sweeping waves that resemble slightly curved lines (symbolizing ceremonial hair-string skirts used in certain rituals) or ovals that occasionally assemble to form what appears to be a wall of cells. Some of her compositions combine both motifs, always in a cohesive tonal harmony dominated by ochres, oranges, pinks, and, in some pieces, purples. While the men of her generation adhered to a highly detailed style, Makinti's spontaneity and vigor set her apart in contemporary Aboriginal art. The artwork comes from an art center and possesses a registration number (05MN1626), with details provided on the back of the canvas. It is sold with a certificate of authenticity. ABOUT MAKINTI NAPANANGKA (1930-2011) Makinti Napanangka was born in 1930 in the Lake McDonald region. In 1972, she settled in Papunya at the time when the first group of male artists was formed. However, it wasn't until 1994 that women gained access to painting materials. She initiated her artistic career in Haasts Bluff and, in 1996, took advantage of the establishment of the new cooperative, Papunya Tula. Quickly, she gained significant renown. Presently, Makinti's artworks are highly sought after by collectors worldwide and are found in prominent private and public collections. Recognized as a leading artist from the Papunya Tula center, she was listed as one of the "50 Most Collectable Australian Artists" by the Australian Art Collector Magazine in 2003, 2004, and 2005. The director of the Papunya art center described her as "the best painter since Emily (Kngwarreye), with no living match in her painterly freedom, and her fearless blend of naive and sophisticated elements." She passed away in 2011. Awards received by this artist: 2011 - Appointed Member of the Order of Australia 2010 - Finalist, Western Australian Indigenous Art...
