The Pintupi Lifeline
L’exposition à Bruxelles réunit 12 artistes du peuple Aborigène Pintupi, nés entre 1943 et 1961. Issus de la prestigieuse communauté artistique de Papunya Tula, eux-mêmes ou leurs pères ont lancé ce mouvement artistique il y a 50 ans en 1971, dans cet endroit isolé du centre de l’Australie.
Pendant un demi-siècle ces grands artistes ont contribué à écrire une page de l’histoire de l’art. En 2021 c’est l’anniversaire des 50 ans de ce big bang artistique qui changera la ligne de vie de ce peuple, lui permettra d’entrer dans les plus grands musées du globe, et de porter haut leur identité comme un étendard culturel, social et politique.
Anniversaire des 50 ans de Papunya Tula (1971 - 2021)
Les artistes présentés dans la capitale de l’Europe sont tous des « bush babies », anciens nomades dans leur enfance et adolescence, confrontés à une rencontre avec le monde occidental entre les années 1963 et 1984. Cette dernière date est marquante pour l’artiste Yalti Napangati, car elle fit partie avec son frère et son mari, du dernier groupe des nomades Pintupi du désert central Australien. Les bouleversements de vie, l’accélération du temps, le saut dans un autre monde, auraient pu se réaliser en perdant tous ses repères. Dans une étonnante capacité de résilience, d’énergie et de puissance de transmissions, il n’en fut rien pour ces fières hommes et femmes nomades.
La solidité des liens familiaux, l’importance de l’ancrage sur le territoire, l’autorité sur ces espaces préservés, la profondeur de leurs racines, leur ont permis de passer le pas sans trop d’ambages.

Un pan entier de l’histoire de l’art
L’histoire officielle a retenu que c’est un occidental comme Gœffrey Bardon qui lancera ce mouvement artistique. La réalité est un peu différente.
En 1967 les Aborigènes d’Australie accèdent à la nationalité Australienne suite à un référendum ! Le risque de se fondre dans cette nouvelle culture occidentale est considérable. Les grands anciens seront convaincus qu’il faut préserver à tout prix la culture. Que ce patrimoine intangible et structurant est le ciment de leur peuple, leur richesse, leur raison d’être.
En 1969, dans le lieu de sédentarisation installé à Papunya après Haast Bluff, les hommes initiés vont emprunter la peinture acrylique utilisée par les enfants à l’école, pour cristalliser leur mémoire sur les matériaux disponibles comme le contre-plaqué en provenance des baraquements.
Les recherches menées par le conservateur Luke Scholes, du Musée de Darwin, ont montré la naissance collaborative de ce mouvement artistique, à la fois du côté Aborigène et avec les contributions occidentales.
En effet, Geoffrey Bardon n’arrive quant à lui à Papunya que deux ans plus tard en 1971. Il y restera d’ailleurs moins de deux ans, mais y jouera un rôle clef dans la reconnaissance et dans la promotion de cet art. Il est fasciné par ces peintures qu’il découvre dans un hangar en tôle ondulée. Il encourage les artistes, sélectionne une petite centaine d’œuvres en 1971 qu’il présentera à Alice Spring au Dr. Colin Jack-Hinton, nouveau directeur du Musée de Darwin (MAGNT) de 1970 à 1993. Ces œuvres sont aujourd’hui des trésors nationaux qui ne peuvent quitter l’Australie.

Profondeur des racines
A Bruxelles, nous retrouvons les acteurs fondateurs de ce mouvement artistique comme Ronnie Tjampitjinpa (1940) ou leurs enfants témoins directs comme Yinarupa Nangala (fille de Anatjari Tjampitjinpa et épouse de Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi), comme Payu Napaltjarri (épouse de Freddy West Tjakamarra), Mary Napangati (épouse de Ronnie Tjampitjinpa).
Nous y découvrons également la puissance des lignées, avec les fratries d’artistes importants comme Charlie Tjapangati (1949) et sa soeur Nanyuma Napangati (1944), Yuyuya Napangati (1946) et son frère Ronnie Tjampitjinpa (1940), Ray James Tjangala (1958) et sa sœur aînée Yinarupa Nangala (1955), Richard Yukenbarri Tjakamarra (1960) et sa sœur Takariya Napaltjarri.

Résonance institutionnelle
L’artiste George Tjungurrayi (1943) est né dans le désert près de Kiwirrkura. George a marché jusqu’à Papunya avec un autre jeune homme, après avoir vécu tout un temps à Mukula, un lieu de cérémonie important. Il commença à peindre pour Papunya Tula Artists au début des années 1980. Aujourd’hui il est dans le top 50 des “Australia’s Most Collectable Artists” de l’Australian Art Collector Issue 23.
Les différents artistes de l’exposition à Bruxelles, ont des œuvres qui figurent dans de nombreux musées et institutions prestigieuses. Pour en citer quelques-uns. Aux USA : The Seattle Art Museum, USA. The University of Virginia, USA. Cornell University New-York, Hood Museum USA. Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, U.S.A. Toledo Musuem of Art, Toledo, Ohio, USA. Harvard Art Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
En Australie : National Gallery of Australia. Art Gallery of NSW. National Gallery of Victoria (Sydney). Charles Darwin University. Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. The Museums and Art Galleries of the Northern Territory. Adelaide Art Gallery.
En Europe : Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac. Groninger Museum, The Netherlands. Aboriginal Art Museum, Holland, The Netherlands, la Fondation Opale en Suisse…
Leurs histoires convoquent dans la capitale de l’Europe la mémoire de myriades de générations, avec une audace sans cesse renouvelée, dont les formes géométriques, les signes ancestraux semblent si anciens et si modernes à la fois, quitte à faire de l’ombre aux chapitres de l’art cinétique occidental.
Ces peintures nous racontent leurs histoires, leur attachement à ces lieux traversés, célèbrent 50 ans d’un mouvement artistique, et ne cesseront de nous questionner avec leur art signifiant qui porte un message profond.
La galerie Aboriginal Signature Estrangin réprésente officiellement et directement en Europe Papunya Tula artists. Nous sommes extrêmement honorés de présenter ici près de 40 œuvres sublimes de cette communauté artistique historique.
Et nous nous réjouissons de vous accueillir dans notre espace de 250 m2 pour découvrir ces grands et petits trésors du bout du monde.
A bientôt,
Bertrand Estrangin

Explications sur cette œuvre et l’artiste :
Mary Brown Napangati (Napangardi) was born near Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay) circa 1955. Her family lived in the vicinity of Lappi Lappi, located towards the northern area of Lake Mackay, until they walked into the Mt Doreen cattle station west of Yuendumu, in the Northern Territory. She later moved to Yuendumu, married there and later moved further west to Nyirrpi. After her first husband passed away, Mary remarried the well known artist Ronnie Tjampitjinpa and moved to Kintore, where she now lives and paints.
This painting evokes the rockhole site of Tjutalpi. In ancestral times a group of men and women travelled to this site. While at Tjutalpi they performed the dances and songs associated with the area. During their travels the men and women gathered a variety of bush foods including pura or bush tomatoes (Solanum chippendalei) and kampurarrpa or desert raisins (Solanum centrale). They also gathered wood for the manufacture of wana (digging sticks). The roundels in the work represent the soakage waters found at this site, while the lines represent the tali (sandhills).

Informations sur l’œuvre et l’artiste :
George Tjungurrayi (1943) was born in the desert in at Kiwirrkura and is the younger brother of Naata Nungurrayi. George walked into Papunya with another young man along a freshly graded road, after living at Mukula, west of Kiwirrkura. He commenced painting for Papunya Tula Artists in the early 1980’s. “ George Tjungurrayi paints in his own adaptation of the Tingari style. Deceptively delicate lines of loosely-joined dots create networks or webs over the entire surface of the canvas. This gives his paintings a distinct energy. Multi-layered representations of country such as this painting reflect the central concerns of the Papunya Tula artists”. (AGNSW)
Mamultjulkulnga is of great importance to the artist as his father passed away at this site. After rain this claypan becomes a large shallow freshwater lake, which provides ideal conditions for the prolific growth of the small fleshy sub-shrub Tecticornia verrucosa, k.nown in Pintupi as Mungilypa. In ancestral times two Tingari Men oftbe Tjungurrayi and Tjapaltjarri kinship subsections camped at this site and gathered mungilypa. The seeds from this plant are ground into a paste whicb is then cooked in the coals to form a type of unleavened bread.
The Tingari are a group of ancestral beings 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 were accompanied by novices, and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These ancestral stories form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.

Yalti Napangati (born around 1970) is an Australian Aboriginal artist. She is a painter of the Western Desert style of art, and paints for the Papunya Tula school.
Her husband, Warlimpirrnga, is also a well-known artist. They were both members of the famous Pintupi Nine, the last group of Aborigines living a traditional way of life in Australia. Yalti was born in the Great Sandy Desert, sometime around 1970. She and her family lived as nomads in the desert, travelling along the western side of Lake Mackay.Most other Pintupi families had moved into settlements during the 1950s, but Yalti's father kept the family away from these. Her parents were Lanti (or "Joshua") and Nanu.[4] She has an older brother, Tamayinya, and a younger sister, Yukultji. She married Warlimpirrnga sometime during the early 1980s, possibly when she was as young as 12. She and her family came out of the desert in 1984.
This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole and soakage water site of Marrapinti, west of the Kiwirrkura Community in Western Australia. The lines in this work represent the large tali (sandhills) that surround Marrapinti and the nearby puli (rocky bills). During ancestral times a large group of women gathered at tbis site during tbeir travels east. While at the site the women made the nose bones, also known as marrapinti, which are wom through a hole made in the nose web. These nose bones were originally used by both men and women but are now only inserted by the older generation on ceremonial occasions. Upon completion of the ceremonies at Marrapinti the women continued their travels east to Ngaminya and then onto Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay).

Ray James Tjangala (1958) was born at Yunala rockhole, west of Kiwirrkura. He is the son of Anatjari Tjampitjinpa, one of the original Papunya Tula artists, and Tjungkaya Napangati. Tjangala was encountered by Jeremy Long's Northern Territory Welfare Branch patrols in 1963 at Wudungunya rockhole north-west of Puntujarrpa (Jupiter Well). The family subsequently moved to Papunya in April 1964 where Tjangala attended school. By the late 1990s he had moved further west to Kiwirrkura and this return to his home country, along with the passing of many of the senior artists, invigorated his art, making him one of the most recognisable artists of Papunya Tula.

Bobby West Tjupurrula (1958) is the son of Freddy West Tjakamarra, one of the founding shareholders of Papunya Tula Artists, and comes from an impressive family of established painters. Born at the rockhole site of Tjammu Tjammu near Kiwirrkura around 1958, Bobby’s family was later met by Jeremy Long’s welfare patrol at a rockhole further east in 1963. He commenced painting for Papunya Tula Artists in the late 1980s but it wasn’t until 1993 that he began painting regularly. Since then he has become an integral part of the company, not just as an artist, but also as the company Chairman on several occasions. Bobby is also strong advocate and voice on behalf of the Western Desert Dialysis unit, an organisation close to his heart given he too suffers renal failure and now receives dialysis.
This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Palipalintja, west of Jupiter Well. In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men came to this site from Jigalong. 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.

Charlie Tjapangati (1949) commenced painting for Papunya Tula Artists in 1977, after having observed the older men painting while living in West Camp, Papunya. Stories from the Tingari cycle were the usual subject of his paintings, including the monumental canvas now in the collection of the National Museum of Australia, which was shown in Australian Perspecta 81 at the Art Gallery of NSW, one of the first institutional acts of acknowledgement of Papunya Tula paintings by the Australian contemporary art world. (Vivien Johnson, 2008).
This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Tjiparitjarra, near rock:y outcrops and a large sandhill west of Jupiter Weil in Western Australia. ln ancestral times a large group of Tingari men visited this site before travelling east, passing through IGwirrkura, and then north-east to Tarkul and Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). The lines in this work represent the nearby tali (sandhills). Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further detail was given. Generally, the Tingari are a group of ancestral beings 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 were accompanied by novices, and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These ancestral staries form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.
In 2000 Charlie travelled to Sydney with a group of four men from Kiwirrkurra to make a ground painting at the Art Gallery of New South Wales for the opening of Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius.

Explications sur cette œuvre et l’artiste :
Nanyuma Napangati was born c.1940 in Kiwirrkurra country. She lost her father Mamutja (b.1899-1964) soon after one of Jeremy Long's Welfare branch patrols brought them to Papunya in 1964. Nanyuma's mother Nangatji Napurrula died in the early 70's. Nanyuma began painting for Papunya Tula Artists in June 1996.
She is the sister of Charlie Tjapangati.
This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Ngaminya, just to the south-west of the Kiwirrkura Community in Western Australia. A group of ancestral women made camp at this site before travelling to the rockhole site ofWirrulnga, east of the Kiwirrkura Community. The lines in the work are spun haïr-string which is used to make nyimparra (haïr-string skirts) which are worn during the ceremonies associated with the area. The other lines are the tali
(sandhills) surrounding the area.
In 1999, Nanyuma was one of the artists involved in the Kiwirrkurra Women's Painting project, which was auctioned to raise money for the Renal Unit at Kintore, an Aboriginal Community in the Western Desert. Nanyuma was one of a dozen women from Kiwirrkurra who travelled to Sydney in 2000 to dance in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Nanyuma is a Pintupi senior law woman and depicts designs associated with women's Ceremony at Marrapinti, organizing there the creation of nose bones.

Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature, no further detail was given. Generally, the Tingari are a group of ancestral beings 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 were accompanied by novices, and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These ancestral stories form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.

This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Umari, situated in sandhill country, east of Mt Webb in Western Australia. A large group of ancestral women travelled east from Umari to the rockhole site of Pinari, which is north west of the Kintore community. As they travelled the women gathered the edible berries known as kampurarrpa or desert raisin from the small shrub Solanum centrale. These berries can be eaten straight from the bush but are sometimes ground into a paste and cooked in the coals to form a type of damper. From Pinari the women continued their travels towards the east to the site of Kalipinpa, a major water dreaming site north of Sandy Blight Junction.

Yalti was born in the Great Sandy Desert, sometime around 1970. She and her family lived as nomads in the desert, travelling along the western side of Lake Mackay.Most other Pintupi families had moved into settlements during the 1950s, but Yalti's father kept the family away from these. Her parents were Lanti (or "Joshua") and Nanu.[4] She has an older brother, Tamayinya, and a younger sister, Yukultji. She married Warlimpirrnga sometime during the early 1980s, possibly when she was as young as 12. She and her family came out of the desert in 1984.

Ray James Tjangala (1958) was born at Yunala rockhole, west of Kiwirrkura. He is the son of Anatjari Tjampitjinpa, one of the original Papunya Tula artists, and Tjungkaya Napangati. Tjangala was encountered by Jeremy Long's Northern Territory Welfare Branch patrols in 1963 at Wudungunya rockhole north-west of Puntujarrpa (Jupiter Well). The family subsequently moved to Papunya in April 1964 where Tjangala attended school. By the late 1990s he had moved further west to Kiwirrkura and this return to his home country, along with the passing of many of the senior artists, invigorated his art, making him one of the most recognisable artists of Papunya Tula.
Generally, the Tingari are a group of ancestral beings 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 were accompanied by novices, and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These ancestral stories form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.
