Contemporary water colour artists of the "Hermannsburg School" draw their inspiration from Albert Namatjira and associated artists who began painting landscapes in watercolour at Hermannsburg in the 1930s. They live in Alice Springs, Hermannsburg and nearby communities and most work at Ngurratjuta art centre.
Some of these artists are the direct descendants of Albert Namatjira while others remember watching him at work. For more information, see our pages on Albert Namatjira, Hermannsburg artists and Hermannsburg.
The paintings below are unframed on acid-free rag paper. Paintings from the Ngurratjuta art centre are exempt from Australian GST, so the prices shown below for Australia and export are the same (unlike on some other parts of our Web site).
Prices are in Australian dollars and do not include packing, delivery and insurance - use the "Enquire" button to confirm availability of a painting and the cost of delivery. To check the equivalent price in other currencies, use the Currency Conversion link. For more details about shopping, see our Shopping and online security section.
Aboriginal paintings are a rich and varied art form. This online gallery offers a fine selection of Australian Aboriginal paintings by artists from communities in the Kimberley, Central and Western Desert and Top End (including Arnhem Land) regions of Australia.
The variety of painting styles in the regions is described in our Regions and communities section.
Paintings are arranged by regions - click on the link to see paintings from a particular region.

To find a painting by a particular artist, you can use our Web site search facility to search by artist's name or other term (see navigation bar on the left).
All paintings shown in the gallery are for sale. If you are interested in possibly buying one, you can confirm that the painting is still available and find out about delivery and insurance charges by clicking on the "Inquire" button - this opens an email form.
All works are unframed unless identified explicitly as being framed - some are on stretcher frames (for example, paintings in ochre) while others can be sent as rolled canvases.
The paintings have been selected through visits or discussions with Aboriginal communities and artists and are warranted by us to be as described and attributed (see the Shopping and online security policy).
