CHARLIE WARD TJAKAMARRA (c.1940 - 2005) UNTITLED, 1999 synthetic polymer paint on linen 61.0 x 56.0 cm inscribed verso: artist's name, size, Papunya Tula Artists cat. CW990737 PROVENANCE Papunya Tula Artists, Alice Springs, Northern Territory Collection of James Smeaton, Melbourne, acquired from the above in 1999 This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists which states: 'The painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Tjantutjarrpa, south-west of the Kiwirrkura Community. In mythological times two men, one of the Tjakamarra kinship subsection and the other of the Tjapangati kinship subsection, visited and camped at this site. They were playing with dogs, throwing them back and forth to one another. This mythology forms part of the Tingari Cycle. Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further detail was given. Generally, the Tingari are a group of mythical characters of the Dreaming who travelled over vast stretches of the country, performing rituals and creating and shaping particular sites. The Tingari Men were usually followed by Tingari Women and accompanied by novices and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These mythologies form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.' © Charlie Ward Tjakamarra/Copyright Agency 2024 This work is located in our Melbourne Gallery

CHARLIE WARD TJAKAMARRA, (c.1940 – 2005), STORY OF TWO OLD MEN, 1972, synthetic polymer powder paint and PVA on composition board
Est: $50,000 - $70,000
CHARLIE WARD TJAKAMARRA (c.1940 – 2005) STORY OF TWO OLD MEN, 1972 synthetic polymer powder paint and PVA on composition board DIMENSIONS: 46.0 x 29.0 cm (irregular) PROVENANCE: Painted at Papunya, Northern Territory in 1972 Stuart Art Centre, Alice Springs (painting 13, consignment 15) Private collection, USA, acquired from the above in November 1972 Private collection, USA This work is accompanied by a documentation from the Stuart Art Centre, Alice Springs. ESSAY: In his recollections of the early years of the Western Desert painting movement at Papunya, Geoffrey Bardon referred to Charlie Tjakamarra as an occasional painter who ‘would sometimes visit the Great Painting Room … and sit with Anatjari No. III Tjakamarra and sometimes with George Tjangala’.1 However Charlie Tjakamarra soon moved away from Papunya to live at Warakurna, Docker River and Warburton before settling in the Pintupi community of Kiwirrkurra in the mid-1980s. From then-on he painted consistently for Papunya Tula Artists under the name of Charlie Ward Tjakamarra. He became a leading exponent of the minimal linear style of painting favoured by Pintupi artists such as the brothers Willy Tjungurrayi (born c.1932) and George Ward Tjungurrayi (born c.1945). Among Tjakarmarra’s major achievements was a leading role in the great collaborative Kiwirrkurra Men’s Painting Untitled, 1999 that featured in the landmark exhibition of Papunya painting, Genesis and Genius at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney in 2000.2 At Kiwirrkurra, Charlie Tjakamarra also collaborated on paintings with his third wife, Yukultji Napangardi who is now at the vanguard of contemporary Pintupi painters. Story of Two Old Men, 1972 is one of three known paintings by the artist from the early 1970s. It was recorded as Painting number 13 in Consignment 15 from Papunya to the Stuart Art Centre, Alice Springs, the main outlet for Papunya paintings at that time. Two other paintings by Tjakamarra were recorded in the previous consignment to the Stuart gallery. One is a double-sided board from 1971, Tingari men sitting around waterholes, in the collection of the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Darwin3 that features an image related to this lot. The second painting, Two Snake Dreaming painted in March – April 1972,4 features bold black forms outlined in dots against an ochre red ground similar to those found in Story of Two Old Men. According to Bardon’s documentation accompanying the painting, the two black verticals represent places where two Old Tingari Men rested, the horizontals are the pathways connecting these places, and the roundels symbolize the waterholes near the men’s camps. The crossed lines of white dots represent ridges of desert sandhills. 1. Bardon, G. and J.
