George Mung-Mung

George Mung-Mung (1921 - 1991) was active/lived in Australia.  George Mung Mung is known for Symbolic tribal image painting.

A prominent cultural leader and elder of the Gija people, George Mung Mung was one of the first artists at Warmun (Turkey Creek) to paint the boards carried in the Gurirr Gurirr (Krill Krill) ceremonies that described the destruction of Darwin by Cyclone Tracy, as revealed to Rover Thomas.

Mung Mung was also among the first group of artists at Warmun to paint consistently for the public domain, developing a distinctive style of painting that incorporated both planar and profile views of the landscape as well as figurative imagery as seen in paintings such as Jirling the Hunter, 1989, in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, and Binoowoon Country, 1990, in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia.1 In other paintings, figures of ancestral beings merge into features of the landscape.
