Book, Roberts, Ainslie, The Dreamtime: Australian Aboriginal Myths in Paintings, 1968
...as yet our writers, musicians, dramatists, and artists, still dominated by the influences of overseas cultures, have seen but little inspired by the beauty of the mythical beliefs of our native people. Suddenly, this rich store of beauty has been revealed to us through the paintings of Ainslie Roberts. With the creative mind of the true artist, free from all influences except those of the mythical stories of the brown-skinned aborigines, he has given us pictures as full of imagery and fantasy as the stories on which they are based, pictures that reveal both the sensitive mind of the artist and the fertile imagination of the aboriginal story-teller.79 pages : coloured illustrations ; 24 cm....as yet our writers, musicians, dramatists, and artists, still dominated by the influences of overseas cultures, have seen but little inspired by the beauty of the mythical beliefs of our native people.
