Ntaria is the home of the Western Arrernte people in the Northern Territory and includes Hermannsburg, a small town on the banks of the Finke River. The Hermannsburg School of Art developed in the 1930s as a distinctive style characterised by watercolours depicting the striking landscape and homeland of the Arrente people.  Its most famous painter, and founder, was Albert Namatjira (1902-1959). This exhibition introduces six new Ntaria watercolours  complementing the existing  works in the Collection and with loans from Shepparton Art Museum.
