Notes:Doctor George is most renowned for his Tingari paintings. Dreaming's associated with the Tingari are of a secret and sacred nature as it is important men’s business, which forms the foundation of much of their law. Colours in relation to painting hold great significance in the Western Desert. Dr George utilises the traditional colours present in raw pigment, clay and charcoal, which are: red, yellow, white and black. The concentric design is typical of ‘’Tingari Dreaming’’ and in part relates to the great expanses covered by the Tingari in the mythological Creation Period. http://www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/artists/dr-george-tjapaltjarri/
