Australian aboriginal art is tens of thousands of years old, and yet it is an amazing modernism, finding on the canvas, thanks to Western materials adopted in the 70s, the patterns, the emotional power, often the graphic minimalism of the ritual paintings, the variety of colors in addition, and a flexibility that did not allow the use of the lands of colors. Thanks to acrylic and linen, the ritual painter becomes an artist. Then came works that would not have been challenged by the great initiators of Western contemporary art, cubism, geometric abstraction, or even kinetic art.
