BCFA presents a striking watercolour by Otto Pareroultja featuring the MacDonnell Ranges. Painted during the height of the Hermannsburg movement in Central Australia.
Otto Pareroultja worked alongside his brothers Reuben and Edwin at the Lutheran Hermannsburg Mission. Influenced by Albert Namatjira and Rex Battarbee, the Pareroultja brothers developed highly individual approaches to watercolour painting, distinguished by dynamic patterning, sinuous line work, and richly layered colour.
Demand for important works by Otto Pareroultja continue to grow, with recent auction results reflecting increasing institutional and collector interest. BCFA currently has this beautifully framed example available for acquisition at a price below current comparable market value.
