Aboriginal
art and culture has attracted worldwide attention with its ancient
iconography and universal philosophy. The Dreamtime Stories depicted
in their art reveal 40,000 years of history and demonstrate a respect
and love for their inherent culture and land.
Each paintings tells a story which represents
a particular song and dance. Harmony with nature and survival without
destruction are paramount issues in Aboriginal art and culture. The
oldest civilization known to man, Aboriginal Art has no written language
and consequently relies on storytelling (through painting song and
dance) to pass Dreamtime stories on, from one generation to another.
International focus and a greater appreciation of Aboriginal
Art have fostered the development of contemporary movements and a
further understanding of traditional Aboriginal culture.
