Australian Aboriginal Desert Art
Old desert paintings are strongly traditional and depict sacred content.
Elements of the painting are stylized into lines and circles with dots used to emphasize important items or hide
sacred content. The piece to the left illustrates this style.
Dots become an important part of the piece in later secular designs.
Modern desert painters have moved from dots and circles to colorful designs representing non traditional
subjects.
