BIRTH CENTENARY ALBERT NAMATJIRA 2002
Albert Namatjira, a Western Aranda man, was the first Indigenous artist to paint and exhibit professionally in a Western style. He was born on 28 July 1902 near Ntaria (site of the Hermannsburg Mission, about 120 km from Alice Springs) and was first taught the technique of watercolour painting by visiting artist Rex Battarbee. Namatjira's first solo exhibition was held in Melbourne in 1938. Over the next ten years he had further successful exhibitions in the nation's capital cities and became a celebrity. He died on 8 August 1959 but his legacy continues today in the art of the Hermannsburg school. 2002 is the Year of the Outback.
