About the Author

---

Geoffrey Bardon studied law and art education. In 1971, he took up a posting to Papunya in the Northern Territory, Australia. He worked closely with the Aboriginal painters who became the founders of the Papunya Tula painting movement during 1971 to 1973, and devoted many years after this to documenting and promoting the Aboriginal art he so admired. He died in 2003. His brother James helped realise this, Geoffrey's last book.
