Description
Betty Mbitjana (Anmatyerre) (1954-2023) Anwekety 2011 Acrylic on linen 90 x 150 cm Provenance: > Mandel Aboriginal Art Gallery (Australia)
> Private collection, Neuilly-sur-Seine Betty was Minnie Pwerle's daughter, and many of her works feature similar motifs. The body paint, always present on the women's breasts, bears witness to the fertility of the land. The circles represent dwarf melons and the composition evokes the ceremonies organised to ensure a good harvest.
