Dickie Minyintiri
Dickie Minyintiri (c. 1915 - 23 September 2014) is an Australian Aboriginal artist from Pukatja, South Australia. He began painting in 2005, when he was about 90 years old. He is now one of central Australia's most successful artists, after winning the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 2011. He is said to be the oldest artist at Pukatja,〔〔 and also the community's most senior lawman (a keeper of ''Tjukurpa'' or sacred knowledge).〔
==Life==
Minyintiri was born into a Pitjantjatjara family some time around 1915. He was born in the bush at Pilpirinyi, Western Australia, near the border with South Australia.〔 His childhood was spent living nomadically in the desert with his family.〔 Their homelands were spread over a large area along the border, but they often travelled far to the east for ceremonies.〔 They camped for several years around the Musgrave Ranges near what would later become the settlement of Ernabella.〔 This was prior to the arrival of White people in the area; the family had their first contact with Western civilisation in the 1920s, when Minyintiri was still a child. They encountered a group of men on camels attempting to pull their truck out of a bog.〔
Minyintiri and his family were present for the establishment of the mission settlement of Ernabella in 1937. They settled on the mission with several other Aboriginal families,〔〔 and Minyintiri has lived at Ernabella ever since. He worked for most of his life as a shepherd and shearer, but became a widely respected ' (traditional healer) in his later years.〔 He is now one of the most senior elders in his community.〔 Before he became a painter, Minyintiri crafted traditional wooden tools (mostly spears).〔
Minyintiri began painting at Ernabella Arts in late 2005.〔 He painted at the art centre for a few hours each day, while his wife (now deceased) would wait outside the centre with their dogs.〔 Minyintiri originally painted on paper, but now paints on canvas. His works have been shown in many group exhibitions since 2006,〔 in most major Australian cities. The South Australian Museum was one of the first public galleries to show his work, which it did in a 2007 exhibition.〔
