Biography
For reasons too complex to explain here, Joe Green had two skin names. He was born at Lajamanu, but he moved around a lot, including to Alicurang. Born c.1960 of the Warlpiri tribe/language, his country was Jila, and he painted Yankirrijarra (Two Emus), Warna (Snake), Watijarra (Two Men) and also Warnanarra (Rainbow Serpent) Dreamings. Joe Green and his wife Robyn Green were a formidable husband and wife team, one of several from Lajamanu. They both started painting in 1986. The two nearly always worked together, helping each other with background dotting. They also painted works separately. Joe Green was a strong individualist, whose extraordinary use of colour usually fleshed out the basic design on their paintings. Writers: Johnson, Vivien Date written: 1994 Last updated: 2011
