European reception of Aboriginal art has long been regarded as problematic in contemporary art historical discourse. Academics seem to agree upon the fact that 19th and early 20th centuries transfused with Western colonial and evolutionist ideals, marked a total disregard to or denial of Aboriginal art, while, in turn, the postmodernism re-evaluated and incorporate it within the context of global and interdisciplinary approach. However, recent scholarly research on Ernst Grosse’s book The Beginnings

The Melrose wing of European art in the Art gallery of South Australia, explores themes which enlighten viewers of the development of Western art, since antiquity. Upon walking through gallery 13 of the Melrose wing, I am overloaded with visual stimulation. This gallery is curiously titled ‘The Human Condition’.

It is amazing how something that is recognized as an important center of European Medieval art is looked upon by most of the world as a place where you can snap a cool picture of yourself ‘leaning’ on the Tower of Pisa.
