Albert Namatjira became one of Australia’s most famous artists through luminous watercolor landscapes of Central Australia. Trained in European watercolor techniques but painting his own Country, he developed a distinctive landscape language and inspired the Hermannsburg School. His fame also exposed the racial contradictions of Australian citizenship laws.
