        Est: $300 - $400

        George Djahgurrnga c.1918-1980s Funerary Ceremonies Ochres on Bark West Arnhem Land, c.1960s George Merwulunlu Djahgurrnga was born in about 1918. A Kunwinjku speaker, he grew up in the bush and did not move to the Oenpelli mission, established in 1925. Schooled in bark painting by his father, Djahgurrnga painted in a simple style derived from rock art and ritual body painting. He did not marry and lived and worked on his own at Guborlemguborlem, on a remote outstation isolated from contact with Europeans. According to Dorothy Bennett, he lived in a pandanus hut by a billabong and used to fish with an old butterfly net. Very much a loner, he was interested in painting spirit figures and animals. 62 x 36cm
