Bio
Born: Hermannsburg, Northern Territory, Australia 1914 and Died: Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia 12 Aug 1973.
Otto Pareroultja and his brothers Reuben and Edwin worked and painted at the Lutheran Hermannsburg Mission in Central Australia. Initially influenced by their countryman, Albert Namatjira, and by Rex Battarbee, the Melbourne water-colourist who worked closely with the Hermannsburg artists, the Pareroultja brothers developed their own distinctive styles within a modern European land-scape idiom. In their paintings, the desert landscape is less representational than in Namatjira’s work, and is animated by their use of vigorous, sinuous lines, dynamic areas of repeated patterning and strong colours massed together.
A white ghost gum in front of distant mountain ranges is a common motif of the Hermannsburg school. In an untitled study of two gum trees, painted at the height of the Hermannsburg movement, Pareroultja cropped the image so that the focus is drawn to the trunk of a mature tree. The trees are not isolated, however – Pareroultja merges them into the landscape and the sky by continuing the blue and purple tones in the shadowing and markings on their trunks, creating an integrated image of the land. The aged tree next to the sapling could suggest a narrative subject matter, contrasting maturity and endurance with youth, but it is more likely that Pareroultja depicts the rigours of this landscape without sentiment.
