Can someone help me "term" the art of the Australian painter Albert Namatjira? Four postage stamps of his paintings have been issued.

At first I thought of Naivism, but this is not the correct choice. Neither is Realism, because most artists will claim to paint "what he sees", so any painting could be termed Realism ...
The closest I can come is Indigenous Art, but in some way this sounds "derogative" to me.
I have searched Google (keywords: paintings albert namatjira) and a lot of links pop up, but none of them
"categorize" him. His paintings are charming and well done, so they have come to stay on my site -- I just need to know a bit more about him in an arthistorical context. Any lead would be appreciated
