'This is an account of an Aboriginal artist. Over 70 major paintings, all with detailed annotations and spanning more than two decades, are reproduced in this volume. The Art of Clifford Possum Tjapaitjarri makes accessible the development of a master painter of the Anmatyerre tribe - one of the founders and leaders of Western Desert art. In the contemporary medium of acrylic on canvas, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri expresses both his custodianship of the ancient Dreaming stories of Aboriginal Central Australia recounted in his paintings, and his own artistic vision.'
