DR BEVERLEY CASTLEMAN - Key Persons
More recently, Professor Ian McLean of Melbourne University read my draft manuscript. He has been very helpful and encouraging.
I am most grateful to all these people.
I also acknowledge the important help provided by the National Gallery of Australia, Flinders University Art Museum in Adelaide and Professor Vincent Megaw, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory at Darwin and at Alice Springs, and the National Gallery of Victoria. Each of these major galleries provided excellent access to their collections of Hermannsburg paintings for my research, which I have been able to study and use in my analysis and estimation of dates of creation of the paintings. I refer in my manuscript to many of these paintings, but at the Galleries' requests, have not included images of these paintings.
