Â Inyuwa Nampitjinpa (c 1922-1999) Travels of a Tingari Women to Pinari 1998
Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Inyuwa Nampitjinpa was among a group of Pintupi people who made their weary way into Ikuntji (Haasts Bluff) settlement just before Christmas 1956. They had walked hundreds of kilometres from west of the salt lake of Karrkurutintjinya (Lake Macdonald) to experience first-hand the supplies of food and water on offer at the settlement under the new government administration that had replaced the Lutheran missionaries. Nampitjinpa already had four children â three sons and a daughter â with her elderly husband Rartji Tjapangati. Nine years later, Rartji Tjapangati passed away in Papunya, and Nampitjinpa re-married. Her second husband was Tutuma Tjapangati, one of the most senior men in the founding group of artists painting at Papunya in 1971. Nampitjinpa and her family moved back to the Pintupi homelands community of Walungurru (Kintore) soon after its establishment in 1981. Tutuma Tjapangati was such a prolific and ebullient painter that it is doubtful Nampitjinpa would have been called upon to assist him, but when she took up painting her style owed much to his freewheeling, energetic approach. Nampitjinpa became involved with the Haasts Bluff/Kintore women's painting project in 1994. As an elder of the community, she assumed a supervisory role regarding the portrayal of women's ceremonial subject matter, reminiscent of that taken by the senior men early on in the history of the Papunya movement. In 1997, Nampitjinpa had an operation to remove cataracts, which dramatically improved her eyesight, and she began painting regularly. Nampitjinpa's paintings helped establish the signature style of senior women's painting at Walungurru. As seen in 'Untitled (Pukunya)', 1999, her work retained only the most basic elements of traditional imagery, referencing rockholes, campsites and women's utensils simplified to the point of abstraction. The large permanent water site of Punkilpirri, south west of Tjukula, was a recurrent subject. Until her death, the artist sustained a creative energy that resulted in her first solo exhibition at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi, Melbourne, in June 1999. The paintings were still up on the walls of the gallery when Nampitjinpa passed away. Her legacy continued in the paintings of her daughters, Walangkura Napanangka and the late Pirrmangka Napanangka.

Â Inyuwa Nampitjinpa (c 1922-1999) Pulkanya 1997
Est: $2,500 - $4,500
Inyuwa's works helped establish the signature style of senior women's painting at Kintore. When she took up painting in 1994, her style owed much to the freewheeling, energetic approach of her husband, Tutuma Tjapangati one of the founders of Western Desert painting. Their dense, tactile surfaces, applied with a roughness and sheer volume of paint were unlike those of any previous practitioners in the desert style. As an elder of the community, she assumed a supervisory role regarding the portrayal of women's ceremonial subject matter, reminiscent of that taken by the senior men early in the history of the Papunya movement. This work depicting Pukunya, was created in 1998. It retains only the most basic elements of traditional imagery, referencing rockholes, campsites and women's utensils simplified to the point of abstraction. At the time of her death, the paintings in her first solo exhibition were still up on the walls at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi in Melbourne. Her legacy continued in the paintings of her daughters, Walangkura Napanangka and the late Pirrmangka Napanangka.

Though she lived for some time in Haast's Bluff and Papanya after coming in from the desert, Inyuwa Nampitjinpa and her family moved to Kintore, the Pintupi homelands community, soon after its establishment in 1981.

Untitled (designs associated with the rockhole and claypan site of Pukunya)
Est: $6,000 - $8,000
Inyuwa was a ceremonial and community leader in Kintore, whereÂ she was also the matriarch of a large extendedÂ family. Though she painted for Papunya Tula Artists for just five years prior to her death, she played a vital role in the emergence of contemporary women's art amongst the Pintupi. She guided her daughter Walangkura and adopted daughter Pirrmangka in their own artistic careers and painted until her death in June 1999, at which time her first solo show was on the walls of the Gabrielle Pizzi Gallery in Melbourne. This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole and claypan site of Pukunya, located west of Umari and east of Mt Webb in Western Australia. A large group of ancestral women passed through this site during their travels further east. They gathered the edible seeds known as wirriny-wirrinypa, from the small shrub Solanum cleistogamum, which grows in profusion near the claypan. These seeds are ground into a paste which is cooked in the coals to form a damper.
