Behind the Doors: An Art History From Yuendumu

Philip Jones

The Yuendumu Doors are among the freshest, most remarkable documents of Aboriginal art. Painted 30 years ago at a remote desert school by artists steeped in ritual knowledge, the Doors survived against the odds. After near-obliteration by desert winds, sun, and children's graffiti, the Doors have been conserved and their powerful designs restored.
