Line 2: '''Albert Namatjira''' ([[28 July]] [[1902]] – [[8 August]][[1959]]), born '''Elea Namatjira''' , was a [[Western Arrernte]] man, an [[Indigenous Australian]] people of the Western [[MacDonnell Ranges]] area, and one of [[Australia]]'s most acclaimed [[visual artist]]s. ~~a Toe~~Though in his early career he painted a wide variety of subjects, he is best known for his [[watercolour]] [[Australia]]n [[outback]] desert landscapes, a style much imitated in the [[Hermannsburg School]] of art. While his work is obviously the product of his life and experiences, his paintings are not in the highly symbolic style of traditional [[Aboriginal art]]; they are richly detailed depictions. He is also notable for being the first Northern Territory Aborigine to be granted [[Australia]]n [[citizenship]] in the sense of being freed from the restrictions of discriminatory legislation that made Aborigines wards of the State.
