The Enduring Power of Art As I write this introduction Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has just made the announcement that Melbourne’s lockdown is ending. This timely reprieve has brought a resounding sigh of relief across the state and beyond. The last few months have brought about a powerful wave of change for the art world with galleries, auction houses, and artist studios being thrust into the deep unknown. At the positive end, we’ve seen artist records made and then beaten again with some of the most diverse and memorable works coming to market – all in the most challenging of environments. One reassuring constant amidst the unpredictability of this period has been the enduring power of the artwork. Art continues to speak to us – to provide solace, inspiration, escapism and hope. We have all been reminded of the importance of the home, and art provides us with an unwavering sense of place. It is this sense of belonging that is so strongly felt by the artists themselves. This is particularly apparent in our cover lot by revered Australian artist Arthur Boyd. Arthur’s Bundanon Garden and Yvonne 1993 (lot 22) is a loving portrait of his wife, Yvonne, from a particularly significant year in the artist’s life. Bundanon became a place of great importance to Arthur and Yvonne – responsible for inspiring some of his most significant works and cementing the career of one of Australia’s greats. Both in Bundanon Garden and Yvonne and many other works by the artist inspired by Bundanon and its surrounds, we are invited into Arthur’s own personal realm. The work of Robert Dickerson provides us with an intriguing world in which to escape into – full of enigmatic characters and mysterious scenes. His love of art and horse racing combine in Punter in the Green Jacket (lot 21) and permit the viewer a moment to become absorbed into the racing world that Dickerson was himself so engrossed in from the late 1950s. Other highlights in our December auction include Herbert Badham’s Still Life with Butter and Apples c.1930 (lot 30), Fred Williams’ Fallen Tree 1959 (lot 31), and selected works from the Estate of Lady Nolan as well as the Rothschild Collection. We hope our December sale provides you with some inspiration, escapism, or perhaps some much needed joy! Olivia Fuller / Head of Art

ROBERT DICKERSON
Robert Dickerson’s contribution to the arts extends across six decades as one of the most celebrated leading Australian painters from the 20th Century. Predominantly as a figurative painter, he saw the development of the influential artist group, The Antipodeans, in the 1950s with Arthur Boyd, Charles Blackman, John Perceval and John Brack as main exponents. Dickerson has been widely praised and iconically known for his honest portrayal of his subjects, drawing on relatable themes from everyday life. Born into economic hardship, Dickerson left school at the age of 13 to work in a local factory. As the eldest son during the Depression Era, Dickerson trained as a boxer and soon joined a travelling boxing group in search of lucrative earnings to help support his family. Before long, World War II commenced, taking Dickerson away from his homeland. While he had hopes of becoming a pilot, he instead served as a guard for three years in Indonesia. Documenting his experiences through drawing, Dickerson felt compelled to capture the suffering of the local people, particularly the innocent children he encountered on a daily basis. Using boot polish and camouflage paint he began his journey as an artist. Upon returning home to Australia, Robert Dickerson worked odd jobs whilst practising art on the side. It wasn’t until 1957 that he made his first income from art, winning 100 pounds in a fridge painting competition in the Australian Women’s Weekly. He used this prize money to place a bet on a winning horse, providing him the finances to pursue his career seriously. Painting and punting remained Dickerson’s two loves in life, each driving the other. This was recognised when he was offered the artist-in-residence position at the well-regarded Moonee Valley Racing Club for the 2001–02 season, marking the creation of Punter in the Green Jacket. The impact of this work is immediate; crisp blues reflect the clean air and early morning, while deep lush greens depict the perfectly manicured track, on which stands a cluster of figures next to a sprightful horse awaiting its next race. In the foreground, a punter in a green jacket beams at the viewer, with a weariness in his eyes, revealing a life-long commitment to the sport. Although celebrated as a figurative painter, Dickerson was also a realist. Often painting in a monochromic palette, Dickerson presented honest and raw portraits, addressing sober themes surrounding vulnerability, despair and the human condition. This work exemplifies Dickerson’s ability to react to everyday scenes, an almost metaphysical quality perhaps as a result of living at such a height of awareness. Settling at an 81 Hectare property in Nowra, New South Wales, Dickerson began training and breeding horses while continuing to paint until his death in 2015. In 2013 Dickerson was awarded an AO for his contributions and achievements to the visual arts in Australia and he was also recognised for the many charities he supported. Lucy Foster / Art Specialist

ARTHUR BOYD
Arthur Boyd first sighted his future home of Bundanon in 1971 after many years spent abroad in England. It was during a visit to the shared home of Frank MacDonald, Sandra McGrath and her husband Tony on the New South Wales South Coast that Yvonne and Arthur Boyd first formed an attachment to the area. They were meant to stay for just one weekend, but ended up staying for ten days. Both were completely entranced by the landscape at Bundanon, and Arthur was reinspired to depict the Australian landscape. When the adjoining property, Riversdale, became available in 1974 the Boyds keenly acquired it and, soon after, the very property they had first visited. Although the McGraths and MacDonald had wished to sell Bundanon to the NSW State Government as a creative retreat, the Government sadly declined, and so instead the property was then sold to the Boyds in 1979. For Arthur and Yvonne, Bundanon was a place of beauty, inspiration, and belonging. When reviewing the career of Arthur Boyd, the significance of Bundanon and the Shoalhaven area is uncontested. This new home brought about his most pivotal series and led to his legendary status in Australian Art history. What should not be overlooked, however, is the significance of Yvonne – both her own attachment to Bundanon and her profound impact on Arthur. “Bundanon is Yvonne Boyd’s legacy as much as Arthur’s” said Deborah Ely, chief executive officer of Bundanon Trust. “She shared his vision as she shared his life. She was an artist of great talent and unrealised potential”.1 Yvonne’s opinion was held in the highest regard by Arthur as the one he needed most earnestly. “Where’s she gone?” he would enquire when he needed to recall a detail. “She’s got to put me right”. Once, when he turned to her on the completion of a painting and asked: “Well, what do you think?”; and her response was a little slow in coming, he insisted:”I need your praise”. He knew she would never let him down with an easy answer.2
22 ARTHUR BOYD (1920–1999) Bundanon Garden and Yvonne 1993 oil on canvas signed lower right: arthur Boyd dated on Australian Galleries exhibition label verso Australian Galleries label verso cat. no. 11066 inscribed verso on stretcher bar: BUNDANON GARDEN 151 × 120.5cm PROVENANCE: Australian Galleries, Melbourne 1994 Private collection Presston Gallery, Sydney 2008 Private collection, Sydney EXHIBITIONS: Arthur Boyd Recent Paintings and Etchings, Australian Galleries, Sydney, 29 November 1993 – 12 February 1994, Melbourne 18 April – 14 May 1994, cat. no. 15 $60,000–80,000
Many of Arthur’s paintings of Bundanon are powerful landscapes, encompassing the harsh beauty of Australian nature. Bundanon Garden and Yvonne 1993 demonstrates a more delicate approach, reminiscent of the Heidelberg artists such as Roberts or Streeton in its sentimentality. This particular painting is Arthur’s touching tribute to Yvonne – his wife and home. Yvonne is at one with the garden, enveloped by its arching branches and floral tendrils. She sits joyfully amidst the blooming garden, their happy home framed behind her. In contrast to Arthur’s sharp depictions of the rocky Shoalhaven with deep browns and reds, Bundanon Garden and Yvonne 1993 is an intricate pattern of pinks, purples, blues and greens. One can imagine Arthur showing it to Yvonne upon completion, eager to hear her praise and acceptance of his loving portrait. After many years at Bundanon, Arthur and Yvonne resolved that Bundanon should in fact be for the people and so they decided to gift the property along with an impressive collection of artwork to the Federal Government. In 1993, the same year this painting was produced, then Prime Minister Paul Keating accepted this generous gift (in contrast to the NSW Government before him in the 1970s) and the 1000 hectares that encompassed Bundanon was established as an arts organisation and public museum. The following year a major retrospective was held of Arthur Boyd’s work at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, a pivotal 12 months in cementing his legacy. Even after the gift of Bundanon, the landscape had a profound impact on Arthur and Yvonne Boyd and influenced his paintings until his death in 1999. Olivia Fuller / Head of Art

Bend in the Creek 1956 brilliantly encapsulates the highly original landscapes for which Perceval has become so widely acclaimed and admired for. After a period of producing earthenware and ceramics in Murrumbeena with fellow artist and friend Arthur Boyd, Perceval returned to painting in 1956. An alternate title inscribed on the back of the work Cottles Bridge also marks the residence in which he took up at Dunmoochin, an artists community collective formed by fellow Antipodean, Clifton Pugh. While producing a series of landscape works in his local surrounds in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Perceval executed Bend in the Creek 1956 with an effortlessness that pays tribute to his experience and technical ability. In this work, Perceval has deliberately abandoned all traditional focal points, turning the work into a somewhat multidimensional experience, leaving the viewer to explore every corner of the painting.

HERBERT BADHAM
Apart from a brief exploration with abstraction in the 1950s, Herbert Badham remained first and foremost a realist painter. His subject was the everyday. Along with many other key artists of his generation including William Dobell, Charles Meere, and Rah Fizelle, Badham studied at the Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney. His teachers maintained a traditional perspective of art, with draughtsmanship and truth to nature of utmost importance. With influences coming from England, Badham gave great importance to form, tone, and light from an early age. Rather than following the Heidelberg School’s favouritism of pastoral landscapes, Badham and his peers instead focused on the urban landscape and interior scenes whilst remaining within the acceptable conservative space that their English counterparts proposed. The aesthetic experiments that artists of this period conducted were done with typically mundane objects – vases, food, cups, bottles and other domestic debris. No longer was still life painting tied to allegorical meaning, the modern still life was a study of everyday existence. Such an aesthetic experimentation is seen in Herbert Badham’s Still Life with Butter and Apples c.1930. Badham’s academic training is abundantly clear, with front-on perspective and a focus on form and shadowing of these carefully arranged objects. The colour palette and subjects draw parallels to Cezanne whilst the formal proportions and perspective remain academically realist. Still Life with Butter and Apples c.1930 is one of Herbert Badham’s few known still life studies although objects of the domestic interior form a key part of many of his most recognised paintings. In 1932, Herbert Badham was recognised as the runner up to William Dobell in the New South Wales Travelling Art Scholarship. Four years later, Badham completed one of his most recognised paintings, Breakfast Piece 1936, now in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. In this particular realist painting, the objects appear as props, theatrically posed in perfect design just as Badham preferred. His wife sits front and centre amongst the arrangement of objects, amidst a simplified colour palette of fresh blues, whites, and yellows. Still Life with Butter and Apples c.1930 is similarly limited in colour palette, with greys, purples and reds favoured by Badham. The knife, too, is resting near the clean cut butter waiting to be spread. These rather simple objects are given great importance within the composition, perhaps indicative of the value of such products after the war. Both paintings portray a domestic tranquility where objects typically seen as mundane create a stylised portrayal of Badham’s everyday life. Much of Herbert Badham’s career was spent teaching at East Sydney Technical college where he influenced and shaped many of Australia’s most respected artists. Badham produced two books; one, titled A Study of Australian Art, became particularly relevant in the dialogue of Australian Art, although mostly in relation to the Sydney painters. Badham was one of a number of figurative painters in Sydney between the wars whose work typified an aspect of Sydney modernism that addressed contemporary subjects through predominantly English realist traditions. Whilst art history tends to applaud those who introduced great change, Herbert Badham is a timely reminder that there is more than one way to be modern. Olivia Fuller / Head of Art

FRED WILLIAMS
Fred Williams dedicated his entire practice to the outdoors and the unique nature of the Australian landscape. Born in 1927, Williams began his artistic journey studying at the Gallery Art School in Melbourne while receiving private classes at the George Bell School. After completing his studies he set sail for Europe, like so many budding artists of this period. Williams was captivated by the new ideas filling the art galleries in London and Paris. While studying at the Chelsea Art School and the Central School of Art and Crafts in London, he focused his practice on combining his formal training with new techniques he had come to witness during his travels. After early experimentations in his paintings and etchings with the figurative form, Williams returned to Melbourne in 1957 to begin his new vision of re-creating the bushland in front of him. Although the Australian landscape was a well-mastered subject, Williams yearned to depict features of the land that had been previously dismissed, or deemed void of inspiration. Fallen Tree 1959 represents a burst of inventiveness by Williams. He applies new techniques adopted from his time abroad, with influences ranging from Georges Braque to Paul Cezanne, yet with an unmistakably Australian colour palette. Thick impasto creams fill the sky with movement while flickers of burnt red and emerald green emulate the foliage and trees beneath. His overall surface and brushwork is so confidently executed, the texture almost suggests the medium of earth rather than actual paint. Subtle abstraction entwined with his refined technical ability allows him to reduce the landscape to its essential elements. The tree trunks stand uniformly in balanced arrangement and limited spatial depth. Williams emphasises the mysteriousness of the terrain by distorting tree trunks and elongating branches. The boulder-like treetops act as a barrier from the sweeping strokes of the sky further highlighting the deep depths of the untouched plant life beneath. His use of re-occurring dark outline parallels his international influences, such as Cezanne, choosing form over subject in this painting. Fred Williams’ work is authentic in the sense that he provided a refreshed vision of the Australian landscape. He focused his whole attention on the monotony of the Australian bush, as though it was an inspiring quality and not a challenge. Williams is one of only a handful of Australian painters from the mid-20th Century whose work attracted international acclaim. He is represented in public and private collections throughout Australia and overseas, including The Tate in London, The Metropolitan Museum and MOMA in New York, where he was the first Australian to hold a solo exhibition in 1977.

In 1887 Banjo Paterson wrote one of his most affecting poems, "Only A Jockey" inspired in part by William Tell. Paterson was compelled to write the poem after reading a small news article about the death of a teenage jockey, Richard Bennison. Bennison, aged 14, was tragically killed while riding William Tell in his training. The news article confirmed that "The horse is luckily uninjured". Paterson wrote about the boy's death with pity, and a critical view of the news' perspective of the incident. "Only A Jockey" was originally published in The Bulletin in February 1887, and then published in The Man From Snowy River and Other Verses in 1895. $6,000–8,000
