JAMES NORTHFIELD (1887-1973) AUSTRALIA. Circa 1935. 39 1/4x24 1/2 inches, 100x62 1/2 cm. J.E. Hackett, Melbourne. Condition B: extensive overpainting in margins; repaired tears, creases and restoration at edges, into image. "Australian poster artists occasionally used aboriginal figures in their imagery, usually in the noble savage pose so popular during the thirties with documentary photographers and anthropologists" (Monash p. 8). This image, complete with an aborigine tribesman, a boomerang and a kangaroo, went straight to the heart of the exotic, wild, historical and cultural attractions of the continent. Northfield p. 61, Voyage p. 132.
