John is the son of Benjamin and Maisie (nee Namatjira) Landara. John is a grandson of Albert Namatjira as Maisie was Albert's first daughter.
This landscape by John reflects the colour and formation of the many ranges, hills, gorges and flora that are found in his country, Ntaria (Hermannsburg), West of Alice Springs in Central Australia. This country truly has the blue and purple colours of the ranges in the distance, the rich colour in the sand and an amazing contrast when the plentiful flora is in bloom.
