Description
Lands of Enchantment: Australian Aboriginal Painting
National Museum of Women in the Arts
Lands of Enchantment: Australian Aboriginal Paintings presents 27 masterworks by some of Australia's best-known painters, including Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Dorothy Napangardi, Abie Loy Kemarre, Mitjili Napurrla, and Eubena Nampitjin. These works of art, which have never been exhibited publicly, are drawn from the collection of James O'Donnell and Ann Okerson of Washington D.C. They are avid world travelers as well as passionate educators, and are devoted to sharing their collection with the public and ensuring the legacy of Aboriginal artists.
Lands of Enchantment also explores how contemporary Australian Aboriginal paintings are expressive representations of Dreamings-ancient Aboriginal stories about creation and ancestral spirits who inhabited an undatable past called Dreamtime. Contrary to the prevalent Western view that draws clear distinctions between nature and civilization, Aboriginal culture holds that all living beings and elements of geography have been inextricably related through time.
Address : 1250 New York Ave. NW

Admission : Admission is $10.00 for adults and $8.00 for students.
