Abstract
El principal objetivo de esta investigación es el estudio profundo de las últimas motivaciones que justifi can la creación artística, y en especial la pintura, en la cultura aborigen australiana. Partiremos de su estadio primitivo con la pintura en cuevas y abrigos de roca, práctica que ha continuado en ciertas tribus hasta nuestros días, hasta las representaciones en otros tipos de soportes como la corteza de eucalipto o la pintura corporal enfocada a la celebración de determinados ritos ancestrales. Al mismo tiempo, se pretenden comparar dichas motivaciones con las de los artistas occidentales del expresionismo abstracto de fi nales del siglo diecinueve y comienzos del veinte. A través de este contraste entre ambas culturas y diferentes periodos históricos y socioculturales, se intentará razonar y explicar la importancia que el rito, y en consecuencia la participación mística y el espíritu religioso, tienen en la creación artística...
The main objective of this research is to study the profound motivations that justify the latest artistic creation, especially painting, in Australian Aboriginal culture. We will start with their primitive painting in caves and rock shelters, a practice that has been continued by certain tribes up until today, and work through to the representations in other media like eucalyptus bark and body painting focused on the celebration of certain ancestral rites. At the same time, these motivations are to be compared with those of Western artists of Abstract Expressionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Through this contrast between the two cultures and different historical and cultural periods, we will try to reason and explain the signifi cance of ritual, and therefore mystical participation and religious spirit, in artistic creation...
