Benjamin Landara Original
Central Australian Landscape - Water Colour
Benjamin Landara (1921–1985) emerged as a foundational member of the renowned Hermannsburg Watercolour School, which began in the 1930s under the guidance of Albert Namatjira.
Born Ebatarinja and of Western Arrernte heritage, Landara married Namatjira’s eldest daughter Maisie in 1942 and began painting alongside his father-in-law by the late 1940s, absorbing and building upon his mentor’s refined approach to landscape painting.
Though initially influenced by Namatjira’s style, after the master’s death in 1959 Landara increasingly embraced his own artistic voice, producing luminous watercolors marked by harmonious pastel washes, delicate brushwork, and a deep sense of the country’s rhythm and light. These works often feature iconic landscapes such as Mt Sonder, the MacDonnell Ranges, and scenes from the Finke River region near Hermannsburg/Ntaria.
Beyond technique, Landara’s paintings carry a coded cultural narrative. His realistic portrayals of Country subtly reflect Arrernte spiritual heritage embedded within landscape forms. With excellent command of hue and form, his works have become highly valued by collectors and remain vital to the legacy of Australian Aboriginal landscape art.

Buying my David Bromley through HartFinds was a dream—great price, seamless process, and the confidence of purchasing through the trusted Hart family. I couldn’t be happier with the artwork!
I recently sold a Pro Hart painting on and They handled all aspects of the sale including transport of the painting from my home, located outside Queensland, to the buyer. The service they provided was exemplary. Very professional service. Highly recommended.
I sold my Pro Hart from my home in Europe after owning it for well over 30 years. I was quite cautious about such a long distance arrangement but the gallery was very effective and friendly. Christine offered personal and professional service and guidance. I am also happy that it could be returned to Australia and handled by the Hart family.- the best solution really. Happy to recommend!
A big shout out of thanks and appreciation to Christine and the team who advised us well as we prepared to sell a Pro Hart original: their expert advice, followed trustingly, was rewarded with a prompt sale at a reasonable price.
