Aboriginal Australian Art: A Visual Perspective

From the cover: "Aboriginal Australian Art is a thoughtful and authoritative consideration of the place of Aboriginal art within its own traditional settings, and the contribution of such art, not only to the Aboriginal heritage, but also to the cultural heritage of the wider Australian society. The book does not merely illustrate the diversity of paintings, drawings, and carvings. It encourages the reader towards a greater appreciation and understanding of what the Aborigines have achieved."
