  • "This volume contains visual presentations of Australian Aboriginal myths, also known as Dreamtime Stories. These stories are traditionally performed by Aboriginal peoples within each of the language groups across Australia. All such myths variously tell significant truths within each Aboriginal group's local landscape. They effectively layer the whole of the Australian continent's topography with cultural nuance and deeper meaning, and empower selected audiences with the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of Australian Aboriginal ancestors back to time immemorial. The creator of these images, Australian painter Ainslie Roberts (1911-1993) became well-known for his visual interpretations of Aboriginal legends in his series of Dreamtime books, written in collaboration with ethnologist/anthropologist Charles Mountford. Roberts' paintings of Aboriginal myths and legends often feature a central focus - person, animal, tree, rock or celestial body - and a secondary, sometimes hidden element that casts light on the meaning of the work. His line drawings reflect the inspiration of a critical observer of life and the landscape and the technique and discipline of the commercial artist."
