Timeline

1927

David Malangi was born in 1927 at Mulanga, on the east bank of the Glyde River in Central Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, where he received initiation into Manyarrngu culture during his early years spent in the area.

1966

The reproduction of one of his designs, depicting the mortuary feast of the ancestral hunter Gurrmirringu, appeared on the reverse of the Australian one-dollar note in 1966.

This was done originally without his knowledge.

1967

It was acknowledged in 1967 with the release of the banknote, and he was later financially compensated after intervention by the Governor of the Reserve Bank, H. C. Coombs, as well as receiving a specially struck medal.

The payment by the Reserve Bank to Malangi began issues of Aboriginal copyright in Australia.

1979

He was one of the first Aboriginal artists whose work was featured in the Biennale of Sydney in 1979.

1983

Malangi represented Australia at the São Paulo Art Biennial in 1983.

He was one of the most well-known bark painters from Arnhem Land and a significant figure in contemporary Indigenous Australian art.

He became known for his work being printed without his permission on the Australian one-dollar note, which led to a copyright dispute.

He died on 19 June 1999 at Yathalamarra, also Central Arnhem Land.

Malangi started taking painting seriously after World War II.

He was a bark painter.
