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.

Aboriginal Painting 'Tingari Dreaming' by Ronnie Tjampitjinpa (1943-)
Located in NICE, FR
ABOUT THE WORK "RETINGARI DREAMING"
The migration of the ancestors is depicted through interlocking squares in this artwork. These symbolic motifs narrate the journeys of the Tingari ancestors, who sculpted the terrains in the desert, infusing them with life. The subdued, warm tones evoke the ochre hues of the desert and the hills of Kintore, the community from which the artist hails.
ABOUT RONNIE TJAMPITJINPA
Ronnie Tjampitjinpa was born in 1943 in an almost uncharted region near Muyinga, Australia. He commenced painting only in the 1980s. Starting in 1970, he ardently advocated for Aboriginal rights, particularly for their return to their ancestral lands. Having played a significant political role, he chose to retire to his homeland in 2002, dedicating himself solely to painting. Often working in solitude, he isolates himself for several weeks in the desert to rejuvenate. Ronnie Tjampitjinpa's distinctive style is easily recognizable. The geometrical elements in his paintings captivate the viewer and reflect a territorial representation unique to Pintupi art, a region he traversed during his youth. His themes are diverse, encompassing Water Dreams, Fire Dreams, and a particular affinity for the Tingari cycles. Ronnie Tjampitjinpa stands as a prominent figure in contemporary Aboriginal art in Australia. He was listed as one of the "50 Most Collectable Australian Artists" by the Australian Art Collector Magazine in both 2001 and 2009.
Awards received by the artist:
2004 - Finalist, 21st Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award, Darwin (Australia)
1995 - Highly commended recognition at the 20th Annual Fremantle Print Award (Australia)
1988 - Alice Springs Art...

Makonde Mask Helmet, Africa, Early 20th Century
By Studio Art Deco
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
Makonde helmet mask , Tanzania, Africa, early 20th century. Woman's face with a lip plug. The young woman represented wears earrings. Her hairstyle shows three large braids which are sculpted by hand. Carved wood. Width : 11.4"(29cm), Depth : 12.8"(32.5cm), Height: 8.3" (21cm). A shock made during the ceremonies above the right ear caused a crack. Remains of black patina. See photos. The mask is in good age and used condition. Early 20th century. Delivered without seat.
Makonda tribes live in southern Tanzania and northern Mozambique. The most famous Makonde masks are helmet masks, called Lipico, which are used to mark a boy's initiation into adulthood. They also used masks with female faces such as this one.
Brought from Africa to France in the 1920s, this helmet mask shows traces of use. It has been worn which places it at the beginning of the 20th century at least. The pigments darkening the skin (not the hairstyle) have faded or gone. Some small gaps on some protruding parts. A shock to the top of the skull, apparently due to a pointed weapon, generated star-shaped cracks. This impact is not running...
