McDonnell Ranges.

“Hermannsburg school”, the Hermannsburg mission was set up in 1877 to provide religious instruction to the Arrente tribe. In 1934 artist, Rex Battarbee, exhibited a number of  watercolours he painted of the surrounding McDonnell Ranges area. More than 300 Arrernte people viewed this exhibition. On his return to the mission 2 years later, Rex gave Albert Namatjira painting lessons and he soon became the leading exponent of the Hermannsburg School and teacher to many Arrente artists.
