Yilpinji: Love Art and Ceremony
Author(s): Christine Nicholls
This fine collection of prints by Aboriginal artists explores the visual tradition relating to Yilpingi, the love arts and ceremonies practised by the Waripiri and Kukatja peoples of the Central and Western deserts of Australia. The stories of the love arts and the legends and landscapes that pertain to them are beautifully told by Dr Christine Nicholls, who addresses their themes of kinship, courtship, unlawful relationships, decoration, song art, poetry, song and narrative.
