Earth's Creation is a painting by the Australian Aboriginal artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye. It was painted in 1994 at Utopia, north east of Alice Springs. ==Artist and painting== Emily Kame Kngwarreye was a senior Anmatyerre woman, who only commenced painting when she was aged about 80. In the following eight years she produced an astonishing 3,000 or more paintings; an average of one painting per day.〔(Emily Kame Kngwarreye at NMA )〕 ''Earth's Creation'' is described as part of her "high-colourist" phase.〔(Earth's Creation and NMA )〕 It's dubbed a rich vibrant masterpiece of swirling blues, greens and yellows, from what Kngwarreye called the "green time", after the rains came and the bush erupted in new life. She painted with a 'dump dot' technique, also known as ‘dump dump’,〔 using her brush to pound the acrylic paint onto the canvas and create layers of colour and movement. The painting represents, in the words of the artist, "whole lot" - Earth's Creation.〔 *(Earth's Creation in Alice )〕 Emily's paintings are described by leading international art academics as being equal to the works of Monet and great Abstract artists such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko.〔("Japan takes Emily to heart" ), SMH〕 Experts have argued that ''Earth's Creation'', painted at Utopia on the edge of the Simpson Desert in Central Australia by an Australian with no formal or informal training in art, is an even more important painting for Australia than American painter Jackson Pollock's ''Blue Poles'',〔(Earth's Creation in Alice )〕 purchased by the National Gallery of Australia in 1973. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Earth's Creation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
