    John Brack was not only one of Australia’s most notorious artists through the artwork in which he created, but was also a pioneer for many art forms today, that embody everyday elements of the Australian people in a modern artistic form.

Their artwork stressed the importance of figurative art and protested against standard abstract expressionism. Their underlying motive and art trend favored the embracement of “unique Australia”, based

    Since colonisation in 1788 Europeans believed the Aboriginal peoples to be a primitive race with no societal structures in place because their system did not resemble one that was recognizable or fit within it did not resemble a system that was recognizable by white settlers. National identity is believed to be a general concept that referred to a broad set of codes with a shared understanding within a nation, and the sense of belonging that is reinforced through myths, symbols, media activities, and everyday practices (Carter, 2006, p. 7; Van Krieken et al., 2017, pp. 234-244). Australia is now regarded as a diverse country with an identity that has evolved over time and will continue to do so. For Indigenous Australians to conform to this national identity, they had to assimilate and give up their values, beliefs, and cultural rights to become more like white Australia.
