Useful, complex, covers a wide range of Aboriginal Art. I found this book useful, rich and varied, covering many aspects of this beautiful artwork, intermixing the Dreamtime stories with information about the many different geographical regions, artists and forms of art with (admittedly) small but powerful reproductions.

Ancestral
Connections:
Art and an Aboriginal System of Knowledge
by Howard Morphy
Hardcover (1992) Paperback
(1991)
Ancestral Connections unlocks the inner meaning of Australian Aboriginal
bark painting. Drawing on more than ten years of fieldwork among the Yolngu -- an
Aboriginal people of Northeast Arnhem Land -- and applying both anthropological and art
historical methods, Howard Morphy explores systematically the graphic representation of
traditional knowledge in Yolngu art. He also charts the role that art has played in
Aboriginal society both present and past.
The rich symbolism of Yolngu art links the Yolngu directly with the "Dreaming,"
the time of world-creation that continues as the spiritual dimension of the present.
Morphy shows how a complex dialectic of "inside" and "outside"
interpretations of painting structures the system of knowledge in Yolngu society, and how
European interest in this art has caused certain changes in the conditions of its
production. The "inside" significance of the art, however, has not changed; it
retains its dual ability to represent and to constitute relationships between things.
