Sally Morgan is one of Australia's most dynamic Aboriginal artists. Her work is bold, vibrant and provocative. This is the first published collection of her work, exhibited in Australia and overseas to wide acclaim. It provides an invaluable record of the development of her art from 1986 to 1995, including a number of her black and white prints as well as her major works in acrylics and oils, and a biographical introduction by her sister. Art has always been at the core of Aboriginal culture, embodying its spirituality and telling its story. In the twentieth century it has also become a vital medium through which Aboriginal peoples record and reclaim their history, and in so doing define their own identity. The Art of Sally Morgan is a celebration of Aboriginality, of spirituality, of life, of death, of pain, of strength - of survival.
