Photo © Bertrand Before leaving Marseilles, we visited family in the small village of Allauch to see an exhibition of Aboriginal art at the Museum Sacred Symbols and the common .
space is not huge but the exposure is worth a look before it closes March 6, 2011.
Commissioners have tried a clever dialogue between the sacred Christian elements contained in the Museum's permanent exhibitions, the art and elsewhere, the Antipodes, graphics dashed.
Photo © Bertrand - Moulin Allauch panels are detailed and explanatory work of teaching and attract the interest of visitors to this culture so distant and foreign to our societal codes and pictorial.
Signs aborigines used on paintings are represented in light traps, along with signs of early Christian ages. This proximity dummy introduced a kind of familiarity and facilitates a meeting of peoples.

Extremely careful with pointillism of great sweetness, it probably dates from a few years, the artist becomes more and more blind and unable today to complete a composition so imposing.
© Photo-Bertrand Museum Allauch: Grand Dream Aborigine I noted the presence of some major figures whose Papunya artist Eileen Napaltjarri with these wonderful beaded black and orange lines contained a landscape with an alternation of dunes (see photo above).

I appreciate the combination of these blocks and these stalls drawing lines with other lines invisible.

I might have a little complaint to make. The communities of Papunya Utopia and predominate in this selection. While this represents a lot of Aboriginal art. We thus find the community where it emerged in 1970. Then we go to Utopia which has perhaps not entirely invented but gave acclaim to Aboriginal art with a graphic often traditional, bold or accessible with its famous pointillism. An ambitious exhibition
like this could it be limited to cover only a small part of the central desert, without offering a broader view of other current creative?
Families and amateurs will find what is meant by "Aboriginal art". But should not we be a little rushed in our understanding of patterns of these art forms. The vitality of this art movement deserves.
It should be noted that innovation in Aboriginal art is just too over the central desert terrain, but more in my opinion:
- southern Australia with communities Tjala Arts Tjungu Palya,
- of Kimberley with Mangkaja Arts
- or the Western Desert with Kayili Warakurna artists or artists
