Lives of the Papunya Tula Artists by Vivien Johnson is a landmark biographical reference work that celebrates the lives and legacies of more than 100 Aboriginal artists who were part of the Papunya Tula movement, the pivotal Western Desert art collective that transformed contemporary Australian art.
Drawing on years of fieldwork, archival research, and close collaboration with artists and communities, Johnson presents richly detailed biographies of figures such as Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Kaapa Tjampitjinpa, Uta Uta Tjangala, and Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri. Each entry is accompanied by photographs and, in many cases, reproductions of key works. The result is both a scholarly achievement and a visual tribute to one of the most influential art movements in Australian history.
Published by IAD Press in 2008, this large-format softcover book is now increasingly scarce, making it highly sought after by collectors, curators, and scholars of Indigenous Australian art.
