Vintage 20th Cent. Australian paperbark artwork with aboriginal figure
$75
SHIPPING OFFERED
Offered for sale is this rare vintage 20th Century Australian paperbark, dried floral and teatree artwork, made post-WW2 by J Wilson and most likely dating from the 1950’s to 1970’s. Despite research, further information on the artist can’t be provided at this time.
Importantly, set amongst an outback landscape (of jagged hills, broken rocks and sole gum tree) a realistically-drawn figure of a bearded aboriginal man carrying what may be a decorated shield and bundle of spears is walking, perhaps hunting. He has been created on a separate piece of paper.
As nearly all examples of this type of work depict purely landscapes (occasionally with kangaroos or emus) this is a highly-interesting and unique example that incorporates and recognises Aboriginal culture in a way that’s not over-stylised or simplified tourist-ware. This piece is something special!
In excellent original condition.
Measures (framed) 28cm (h) x 33cm (w) approximately.
Please check the photos as they form part of the item description.
Cash or direct deposit sale only. Can freight at buyers expense (must include insurance for damage or loss) or can personally deliver to Macedon Ranges, Melbourne, Geelong or Ballarat CBD’s for a fee. Where possible (or upon request) a physical inspection is available and always encouraged. Accurate as possible description at time of listing, however like any secondhand item is sold without guarantee or return so please ask any questions before purchase - as any sale is final.
