If you happen to be planning a trip to Paris in the next few months or so, don't miss a ground breaking exhibit featuring stunning original works of art created on wood, paper and cloth.
A museum noted for featuring indigenous art from around the globe, the Musee du Quai Branly, has selected the works of eight artists to represent Australian Aboriginal art movement.
"By transposing to recycled wooden panels the motifs employed in ephemeral ritual paintings, the Aborigine artists of Papunya created an astonishingly inventive formal art, saturated with meaning. These works change the manner of understanding the territory and conceiving the history of Australian art.
With more than 160 canvases and almost 100 objects and photographs from the period, the exhibition presents the iconographical and spiritual sources of the Papunya movement and traces its development from the first panels to the large canvases of the early 1980s."
The exhbit is open 9 Oct -20 Jan 2013.
