Australian Aboriginal artist (b. 1932?, Napperby Station, outside Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia—d. June 21, 2002, Alice Springs), painted some of the earliest and most admired acrylic dot paintings in the modern Aboriginal art movement; most of his powerful, richly coloured art was inspired by Aboriginal mythology known as the Dreaming, or Dreamtime. Tjapaltjarri worked as a cattle stockman from the age of 12, wood carving in his free time, until he joined an art program at the Papunya mission in the 1960s. In 1972 the students there formed a company, Papunya Tula Artists, and Tjapaltjarri's intricate paintings gained attention. In 1983 he was awarded the Alice Springs Art Prize, and the National Gallery of Australia purchased his massive 3.7 × 2.4-m (12 × 8-ft) painting Honey Ant Eater. Five years later the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London mounted a retrospective of his works. Tjapaltjarri was made an Officer of the Order of Australia just days before his death.
