Right next to our hotel in Perth is an arts and library complex that includes the Art Gallery of Western Australia. The AGWA has an exceptionally broad and interesting collection of paintings from the region, some of which deal powerfully with the relations between Aborigines and white settlers. I don't usually reproduce full paintings in this blog, but these made such an impression that I felt an exception was justified.
