Our Papua New Guinea prints on Saatchi Art are proving extremely
popular and we have just added this image to the growing
list.
This man on his way home in the rain sums up a lot of the characteristics
that we found so attractive about the New Guinea Highlanders when we lived
there between 1970 and 1973.
Normally calm and philosophical the Highlanders accepted strange and, at that time, relatively rare foreigners and their cameras despite having almost certainly never seen a
photograph of themselves. If need be, they would climb into planes or
helicopters without any outward sign of doubt. And yet they lived from the land
and found practical solutions to their day to day necessities, such as this interesting
use for a giant fig leaf umbrella.
