From the link : ‘’ Maud Page, director of the gallery, described the showcase as "not only aesthetically breathtaking", but "incredibly powerful" in mapping history. ’’

Perhaps if they tried English or French people would bother to take notice, as it is only the arty-farty will shew [fake] a bit of interest.

Needless to say there was no such thing as Aboriginal art until well into the 20th century.

As to their world view, it's pretty abysmal and remarkable mainly for its stagnant primitiveness.
