George H. Tjungurrayi (b. c.1937)
George "Hairbrush" Tjungurrayi was born near Kiwirrkurra, a remote Pintupi outpost in Western Australia's Gibson Desert. Brought up in the bush, George followed a completely traditional lifestyle away from western influences until, legend has it, curiosity led him to follow a graded track hundreds of kilometres to the Warlpiri settlement of Yuendumu. Shortly thereafter, in the late 1960s, George moved to the settlement of Papunya.
