One of the very first contemporary artists from Australia’s urban East Coast region to engage with artists living and working in the country’s Central Desert, Tim Johnson met one of the movement’s foremost practitioners Dinny Nolan Tjampitjinpa on visits to Papunya Tula in the early 1980s. Some thirty years after his first engagement, he made this painting Dinny Nolan Tjampitjinpa in Perspective (Crying Painting)—that hung alongside an original painting by Dinny Nolan completed in 1989—which pays great homage to this master of contemporary painting.
