- Summary:
-
"Putting together this collection of paintings, in order to exhibit them for the first time in Spain, has been a passionate task. The last link in the chain, would be to awaken in you the same respect and admiration for the visual arts of the Aboriginal culture, as has been awakened in me." --Page 12.
