Focus on Earth's Creation and explain the Artist and painting.
Kngwarreye was a senior Anmatyerre woman, who only commenced painting when she was aged about 80. In the following eight years, she produced 3,000 or more paintings, an average of one painting per day.Earth's Creation is described as part of her "high-colourist" phase. It is regarded as one of the artist's masterpieces,  representing in her words the "whole lot... everything" – Earth's Creation. The swirling blues, greens and yellows evoke what Kngwarreye called the "green time", after the rains come and the bush erupts with new life in her country, Alhalkere. She painted with a "dump dot" technique, also known as "dump dump", using her brush to pound the acrylic paint onto the canvas and create layers of colour and movement.
Due to its large size, the work was painted in four panels. These were stitched together during painting, then subsequently stretched individually.Kngwarreye's paintings are described by leading international art academics as being equal to the works of Monet and great abstract artists such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko. Experts have argued that Earth's Creation, painted at Utopia on the edge of the Simpson Desert in Central Australia by an Australian with no formal or informal training in art, is an even more important painting for Australia than American painter Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles, purchased by the National Gallery of Australia in 1973.
