Martin
Dougal was born at Beagle Bay mission in the Kimberley in north-western
Western Australia in 1949. His people are from the Kimberley coast
near Cape Leveque. As a young man he learnt hunting and bush skills,
and when he was 15 he travelled through the Northern Territory to
Alice Springs. He settled at Hermannsburg Mission for six years, before
returning to his own community to receive initiation rites.
Martin painted the breakaway country and spinifex plains of central Australia where he spent his late adolescent years. He is known for his use of brilliant colours to recreate the vibrant heat and light of his beloved central landscapes.
His work was part of the ‘New Tracks Old Land’, an exhibition of contemporary prints from Aboriginal Australia which toured the United States and Australia in 1992-1993.
His work is in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia and Flinders University Museum.

Secondary
Market:
Our 'Secondary Market Range' comprises one, sometimes
two prints from an edition that is no longer in general
distribution. They are hard to come by, secondary market
prints that sold out years, and in some cases, decades
ago. Many are rare, eminently collectable works by some
of the most senior and acclaimed Aboriginal artists.
