Exhibition Photo Description:
A small band of desert aboriginals wandered into the Haasts Bluff Mission in 1945. Among them was an eight year old girl, Linda Napaltjarri, who would go on to win a major art prize with a picture of her memories of that first contact with the white settlements. An old man in the group, a medicine man, had seen the looming sight of a windmill with its clanking machinery. He threw his spears at the moving blades. He thought it was a devil- devil spitting out poisonous water. In 2006 the now 70 year old Linda painted her version of that tumultuous event. It won the Telstra Award general painting prize. Now Linda is proud to be showing her first solo exhibition in Perth.
