Bio
Otto Pareroultja (Australian/Aboriginal 1914-1973)
Otto was born around 1914 and was the oldest of three brothers a member of the Arunta Tribe.
Otto learned to paint in the Hermannsburg School around 1947, Otto and a group of other aboriginal artists were referred as by Rex Battarbee as the ‘breakaway group’, Rex Batterbee taught his students to paint the landscape as they see it, which lead to many different styles coming out of the school, Otto’s style was very different compared to the older artist Albert Namatjira and others, being twelve years younger he was less traditional and more impressionistic in the way he painted Watercolour giving the landscape movement and a free flowing feeling made his work distinctively noticeable.
As Otto went further into his career he’s painting became even more impressionistic and spiritual which defined him as an artist.
Due to Albert Namatjira Success, Otto was not really recognized till about the 1980s, which was after he passed, three of his works were exhibited including his inclusion in the Great Australian Art Exhibition 1788-1988 at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
