EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Byama threw a spear with all his strength, 1923" transports us into the heart of an ancient Australian Aboriginal legend. Created by artist Raymond Wenban, this print vividly depicts a pivotal moment in the story of The Legend of the Sacred Bullroarer. In this scene, Byama, a courageous male figure representing justice and vengeance, is seen hurling a spear with unwavering determination. Byama's eyes burn with fury as he seeks retribution against Thoorkook - an evil character responsible for the tragic demise of Byama's sons. With one swift motion, Byama plunges his weapon deep into Thoorkook's neck. The intensity captured in this artwork resonates powerfully as it symbolizes not only violence but also the timeless struggle between good and evil. As we delve deeper into Australian Aboriginal mythology through WJ Thomas' book "Some Myths and Legends of the Australian Aborigines" we gain insight into their rich cultural heritage. Raymond Wenban masterfully brings this mythological tale to life through his monochromatic portrayal. The stark contrast highlights every detail - from the intricate patterns on their shields to the sinewy muscles flexed during combat. This lithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to Australia's indigenous traditions. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as honor, revenge, and resilience that have shaped humanity throughout history.
