1 [Review Essay] Painting the Song : Kaltjiti Artists of the Sand Dune Country Chrischona Schmidt , 2012 single work essay
— Appears in: Oceania , March vol. 82 no. 1 2012; (p. 125-126)

'Painting the Song: Kaltjiti artists of the sand dune country describes a development reaching as far back as the beginning of the 20th century. At the heart of this social and cultural history by anthropologist Diana James is the emergence of a local art movement in Kaltjiti, previously Fregon, in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, South Australia. As the first arts coordinator in the community (1975-76) James’ insider knowledge of the early phase of the art movement feeds into her multi-layered account of the history.' (Introduction)
