Niven Pty Ltd. Melb. at lower right, With Australian National Travel Association kangaroo logo at lower right, 100 x 63 cm; laid down on linen 110 x 72 cm. Gert Sellheim was one of the earliest designers commissioned by the Australian National Travel Association (Anta) to produce designs for Australian travel posters. Established in 1929, Anta aspired to attract overseas visitors to Australia by displaying artist-designed posters in its London, San Francisco and Bombay offices (directed at the British serving in India)?'Corroboree Australia' illustrates the designer's strikingly modernist incorporation, and early reference to the art and culture of Aboriginal Australia as a significant aspect of Australian culture and identity.
