Collection of two plays.
'Albert Namatjira was a man of firsts: the first successful Indigenous artist and the first Indigenous man to be made an Australian citizen. At the height of his fame in the 1950s Albert Namatjira's shows sold out within minutes. If you didn't own one of his paintings you probably had a print in your lounge room.
'He also supported over six hundred members of his community, lost two of his ten children to malnutrition, was forbidden to own land, imprisoned for having a drink with his friends, and died a broken man.
'Namatjira is a whole-hearted tribute to a great man. (From the publisher's website.)
