The curators were anthropologists Ronald and Catherine Berndt. The exhibition was held when there was a growing interest in Aboriginal art, its links to national identity and the need to exhibit it to educate viewers about the art. The legacies of this exhibition are various including that it signalled a museological shift from anthropological modes of curating Aboriginal art to an aesthetic approach, and it began a conversation between curators, anthropologists, and art historians, and more recently with First Nations curators, about which approaches to employ in presenting Aboriginal art.

This article reappraises his idiosyncratic and often criticised portraits through an intensive re-analysis of his oeuvre. For this, all examples held in Australian institutions and known private collections were examined, and information collated from auction and provenance records. This analysis has resulted in a revised tally of around one hundred individual watercolours, significantly more than previously realised. Inscriptions, papers and watermarks were compiled and compared, providing evidence of Browne’s working methods. Recently emerged examples of his art strengthen knowledge of his market, including French explorers and Wesleyan missionaries. For the first time, a list of the individuals he named and painted has been compiled, to aid future research by Aboriginal communities.
