Aboriginal Art by Australian Aboriginal Artists, Quality Aboriginal Paintings for sale.  

Minnie Pwerle was born circa 1910 and died 18th March 2006, her country is Atnwengerrp and her language is Anmatyerre and Alyawarr.
Minnie Pwerle’s emergence and dominance in the world of mainstream art has been compared to the legendary Emily Kame Kngwarreye, who like Minnie, began her painting career in her mid seventies and continued to paint with an energy that belied her age. Minnie Pwerle also possessed incredible energy, and this was often reflected in her depiction of Awelye Atnwengerrp’ dreamings. These works were created in a linear style sometimes loose and free flowing or tight and clustered or a combination of both. Either way, Minnie Pwerle’s ability to capture her long love of the land was always true.
Minnie Pwerle exhibited her works extensively throughout Australia and the world with great success. She is regarded as one of Utopia’s foremost artists and this late artist's paintings are in continual demand from both galleries and the private sector.

Minnie was the mother of Barbara Weir and the grandmother of Fred Torres, owner of DACOU. This unique and important family connection means that DACOU Aboriginal Gallery is priveledged to have a superb range of Minnie's paintings available.

DACOU highly recommends the inclusion of a Minnie Pwerle painting to any small or large collection.
