About the artwork

Unlike his brothers, Ewald Namatjira avoided art classes at the Mission, instead spending his youth out bush with his father, Albert, on painting camps. At seventeen, his watercolours became infused with vitality and confidence, as seen in his bright palette and bold compositions.
The monolithic ghost gum is a prominent, almost emblematic feature within Ewald’s practice; the majestic totem of Country often taking centre stage in his paintings.

In 1949, Ewald was involved in a traumatic accident while playing with his father’s rifle and was fortunate to survive. Despite losing an eye, his painting was not affected by the event; the artist produced his most ambitious and joyful works in the years that followed.
