Bust of a young man, made in Venice, early 18th century.
"While the realism of this depiction indicates that it was modelled after a real individual, the identity of the sitter, the artist and the original context of the commission remain unknown. At the time in Venice and in Europe more widely, depictions of people of African descent were often generalised, stereotypical portrayals of clearly enslaved individuals in positions of servitude, or sometimes personifications of the continent of Africa. This bust is unusual as it does not depict any clear markers of enslavement, such as jewellery, shackles, a collar, or a turban. The young man is however wearing a type of tunic was typical for servants at the time, with frogged fastening in the Eastern European or Ottoman style." [V&A]
Not all Western Desert Art is the same.
From the explosive colour of Balgo to the vast ceremonial landscapes of the Pintupi desert, Western Desert Art is a world of movement, story, symbolism, and Country. These paintings are far more than patterns — they map ancestral journeys, sacred sites, ceremony, survival, and one of the oldest living cultures on earth.
Explore the artists, regions, and Dreaming stories behind one of the most powerful movements in contemporary art.
