Australian Aboriginal bark painting, natural ochre, charcoal and kaolin with natural binder. Mimihs and hunters by Djawida Nadjongorle./Milingimbi/Kudjekbinj (Dec. 2008). Acquired personally in 1989 at Framed Gallery, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Signed “Djawida” on the reverse.
Djawida was born ca. 1943 in Dialbangurr, his father's country. His family moved to Oenpelli where his mother and father worked. Djawida went to school in Oenpelli with occasional visits to their country. That's where Djawida became interested in painting, first painting on rock, in the manner of his ancesters, including hand and foot stencils.
Djawida learned to mix ochres and paint, evolving to bark painting. He painted stories from his father's country, and his mother's country (Kudjekbinj) and his grandmother's country near Manmoyi.
Before passing in 2008, Djawida was a highly respected painter in his genre and is represented in many world class collections.
