Painting by Benjamin Landara, painted mid 20th century. In its original frame. Signed. Whole measures 56cm by 42cm (22 inches by 16.1/2 inches). Excellent condition - colours are predominantly blue and greens, I don?t know if this is the result of a little colour fading, or if they were originally this shade. Very attractive painting, and typical of this artist and genre.
Benjamin Landara (1921-1985).
Benjamin was schooled at the Hermannsburg Lutheran Mission (west of Alice Springs). He married Albert Namatjira?s eldest daughter Maisie and took up painting in the late 1940s. He often painted with Albert who encouraged Benjamin and had a hand in some of his early works. These style of paintings are sometimes referred to as Finger Paintings.
