Gloria Petyarre - Leaves


Some Australian aborigine art is simplistic or garish, and some is profound. Gloria Petyarre's Leaves are a series of beautiful abstract paintings. This example from 2002 is similar to one from 1999 that won her the Wynne Prize. It's a stretch to call this a landscape painting (per the prize rules) but it's exquisite nonetheless.
