Description: Increasingly, Australian Indigenous art is drawing the attention of international audiences, in part because of the amazing stories the artists tell of human creativity. John Mawurndjul is an Aboriginal artist whose work is collected and displayed in art museums and galleries throughout the world. The authors here debate questions such as how art should be viewed and approached in intercultural terms.
