Central and Western Desert Tribal Regions

The Beginning

  • Perhaps you could say that the beginning was 40,000 years ago in the caves of the Central Desert
  • Paintings in the same style are still being created today.
  • The stories depicted are not sequential in style but presented as one stylized work
  • The story is so well known that the elements of the tale need only be shown diagrammatically for the viewer to understand.
  • Sacred objects may be emphasized or hidden by by dots

Traditional Style

  • Traditional style is ochre colors, geometrical elements and dots for emphasis and concealment.
  • Desert paintings are still the most widely represented pieces today

Desert Art

  • Desert Art is the most widely represented style and seen by some as "authentic".
  • Desert art is the most widely collected and perhaps has the greatest demand.
  • Desert art resold on EBay will have the highest demand, particularly if painted by a well known desert artist or is an old original piece.
