Abstract (en)

Examines the recent enthusiastic reception and promotion of Australian aboriginal art in the West and Australia, and explores issues raised by the impact of commercial success on aboriginal culture. Criticizes ethnocentric, formalist approaches to this art, arguing that aboriginal people should speak for themselves and in their own manner.
