An Abstract Eye Abstraction is one of the most influential developments in art history. Beginning from avant-garde movements in Europe in the early twentieth century, it has continued to evolve through to contemporary times. When reviewing Australian art history, there are three exhibitions that occurred in the rise of Abstraction through the 1950s and 60s that should be acknowledged: Direction I in 1956, Antipodeans in 1959 and The Field in 1968. Of the three, The Field is considered to have had the most profound impact upon a generation of abstract artists. Its name stemming from the term Colour-Field Painting, The Field was characterised by a reductionist philosophy, heavily concerned with colour, flatness of the picture plane and the shape of the support which had all been the focus of some of the great American Modern artists of the time. A host of new labels were emerging from America including pop, minimal, hard-edge, kinetic and more – all of which were making their way into the practices of Australian artists. Included in this groundbreaking exhibition were forty Australian artists. Within our June Fine Art auction, we are thrilled to present works by key Field contributors including Alun Leach-Jones (lot 68), Robert Jacks (lot 9) and Clement Meadmore. Meditation 1974 by Meadmore (lot 11) displays his signature seamless fluidity with a Minimalist aesthetic largely adopted from his American counterparts. Much like the jazz music he was so fond of, there are unexpected bends, curves, and changes of direction.
The Field exhibition was not the catalyst for a drastic change in popular, or even curatorial taste, from that of the Antipodeans nearly 10 years earlier, but instead marked a seismic and generational shift that was then occurring in the art world. This shift affected the practice of both Inge King and Robert Klippel heavily. Exhibiting in the Direction I show in the 1950s, Klippel soon began to take on a new focus within his sculpture, learning new skills in arc welding, silver soldering and panel beating. Metals allowed Klippel to mature and grow his sculptures, often literally, in ways that wooden structures could not. In No. 253b Metal Construction 1971 (lot 66) we see Klippel’s skills with metal exemplified with a focus on assemblage style sculpture rather the minimalist approach of Meadmore. Inge King, too, displayed a favouritism for assemblage within her sculptures with an Abstract Expressionist edge. King was truly one of Australia’s greatest abstract sculptors by the 1990s at which point she was constructing from a series of flat abstract planes. These were originally created in fibreboard and then cast into bronze, often taking on the forms of gods, angels, and celestial beings. Inge’s Venus (lot 12) exhibits a quiet solemnity and monumentality, standing firm at just over one metre in height. Depicting the goddess of love and beauty, the work displays an inherent sensuality, strength, and power much like Venus herself. We are delighted to present these works in our upcoming June auction and hope you find something to delight in. Olivia Fuller / Head of Art

CLEMENT MEADMORE
Clement Meadmore is undeniably one of Australia’s most recognised modern sculptors and designers. Working with large scale sculptures and smaller maquettes, his artworks are held in high esteem within public and private collections around the world, and his furniture designs frequently sought after by modernist collectors. Growing up in Melbourne, Meadmore originally studied aeronautical engineering at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). Whilst this remained purely an academic achievement, the skills he learned during these studies greatly influenced his approach to furniture making as well as sculpture. In his 20s, Clement travelled abroad to England, France, Germany, and Japan after which his focus began to divert away from industrial design and further towards sculpture. In 1960, Meadmore moved to Sydney where his output of sculpture increased dramatically and his work was exhibited, although not with the reception he had hoped for. The year prior, the Antipodean artist group had released their manifesto comdemning Abstract Expressionism. This approach to art amongst his peers frustrated Clement, and so rather than producing the work he wanted for an unreceptive market, Clement made the life-changing decision to move to New York City in 1963. Within his first few years in New York, Clement’s sculptures progressed into geometric variations mostly using rectangular planes and then towards the minimal and conceptual style being seen in America. His career proceeded on an upward trajectory from here, with his work traversing new ground. In the mid 1970s he pushed the boundaries again by introducing multidirectional forms, with elements moving in multiple directions, into his compositions. Meditation 1974 displays Meadmore’s signature seamless fluidity. It’s upward stance is beautifully interrupted by the smooth curve before returning to its vertical end and final blunt edge. It’s smoothly machined edge and fluid lines lend themselves heavily to a Minimalist aesthetic. Meadmore was a lover of jazz music, which is not only seen in many of his titles but also the rhythym of his sculptures. Much like the music, there are unexpected bends, curves, and changes of direction. Although he grew up in Australia, Clement Meadmore spent the majority of his life in New York where he eventally passed away in 2005. His work is still an important part of the dialogue on Modernist sculpture today, with a legacy that has extended around the world. Olivia Fuller / Head of Art

INGE KING
From her arrival in Australia in 1950, Inge King AM was one of Australia’s most dynamic and revered sculptors. She was a pivotal part of the Centre 5 group, founded in 1961, whose aim was to increase public awareness of sculpture within Australia. The group included Julius Kane, Lenton Parr, Vincas Jomantas, Clifford Last and Norma Redpath. By the 1990s, Inge King was one of Australia’s most recognised sculptors, with decades of exhibition history and major public commissions already under her belt. But, it was this particular decade that saw a return to figuration and the processes of collage in her work. The technique she used, largely the assemblage of abstract forms in steel or bronze, was in some ways a return to her earlier 1940s and 1960s work. This new direction for Inge stemmed from a major commission she was awarded for a Melbourne office foyer. The work, titled Joie de vivre, was constructed from a series of flat abstract planes, originally created in fibreboard and then each plane cast into bronze. Each plane was then assembled and fixed with a welder, and finally the surface coloured and patinated. Inge followed this method throughout the next decade, where her sculptures took on the forms of gods, angels, and celestial beings. This new subject matter “extends the trend begun with the totemic figures of the 1980s and has much significance for the large body of works involving rings created throughout the 2000s”1. Whilst her angels display a sense of movement, Inge’s gods exhibit a quiet solemnity and monumentality. Her representation of Helios 1992, the god of the sun, stands firmly with large semi-circular discs held high in glory, facing upwards to the light resembling both the sun’s shape and the outline of wings. Similarly, Inge’s Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, exhibits a strong central line standing at just over one metre in height. Representations of Venus in history centre on fertility and femininity, often depicting her wearing a crown and in nude form. In Inge’s sculpture here we see Venus standing strong and tall, her womanly shape possibly noted through the circular breasts before her crown-shaped head with a regal bearing. She is strong, imposing, alluring and powerful much like Venus herself. Olivia Fuller / Head of Art

ARTHUR BOYD
Growing up between the wars on the eastern outskirts of Melbourne, Arthur Boyd was nurtured from a young age to pursue his life in the arts. Merric and Dorris, Boyd’s parents, were both potters and artists who worked from their Murrumbeena residence, a place that became the cornerstone for Boyd’s artistic development with many of his early landscapes depicting the surrounding property. In 1941 Boyd was conscripted into the military to serve during WWII. His drawing skills allowed him to work in the cartography unit where he met another young cartographer, John Perceval. After becoming friends immediately and working together during the war, Boyd welcomed Perceval into his home, teaching him pottery and sharing their time in the infantry. It was during this time that Boyd’s work shifted in theme, addressing the experiences of war and the painful aftermath it brought to life at home. Boyd went on to produce a series of highly emotional and expressionist works during the period of 1940-45. In The Butterfly Hunter 1969, Arthur Boyd revisits his emotive 1943 work of the same name which currently resides in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. Set in an industrialised landscape of suburban South Melbourne, The Butterfly Hunter 1969 portrays a dark and harrowing spirit enveloping the desolate landscape in pursuit of its unsuspecting prey. Boyd does not reveal the specifics of this creature although we can see its vulgarity and menacing nature, its body seemingly born from the smoke invading the air. The butterfly, considered a pure and delicate being, is perhaps moments away from being taken. A dog on the right barks, alerting the viewer to the unheard noise and merciless act unfolding. Of deeper meaning, perhaps, is the second figure emerging from the volcanic-like chimney in the background - arms splayed although with a more human-like form. The figure is seemingly wedged within the chimney, and trapped by the upper edge of the canvas, in some respects considered to be a metaphor for human struggle. This gesturally expressive work is a timeless portrayal of a city living at the mercy of war. While completed decades apart, this 1969 version was produced while the Vietnam war was unfolding. Perhaps the timing compelled the artist to revisit the work, triggering an emotional time in his life where he himself experienced war firsthand. In the 1940’s Boyd had been a central force in the extraordinary cultural adventure becoming what we know as Australian Modernism. While he was a passionate advocator and a founding figure of the renowned art group The Antipodeans, this expressionistic period was integral to the development and process in which helped to establish himself as one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century.

ARTHUR BOYD
In 1936, Arthur’s grandfather Arthur Merrid Boyd Senior, moved from Sandringham to a cottage in Rosebud after the death of his beloved wife Emma Minnie Boyd. A young Arthur Boyd was invited to join him. Over the next three years, Arthur enjoyed the coastal life at Rosebud, free to explore his artistic passions with the encouragement of his grandfather. He painted numerous landscapes and beach scenes, with some portraits. In these 1930s works we can see Arthur’s joy and happiness with his new home and his creative outpouring. Predominantly executed with impasto paint, with a flat-edged brush or palette knife, they display quickfleeting swatches of colour and thick painterly textures. While his colour palette was restrained, subtle and natural, his technique was expressionist and full of energy. It is his coastal scenes, particularly, that permit a feeling of serenity. In Figure on Beach with Jetty, Rosebud 1938, the figure is reflected crisply in the still and pure water, blanketed by the clear calm sky in sweeping strokes revealing only a trace of habitat in the distance. His brushwork becomes fervent as it reaches the shore, capturing the complex textures of the sand and tangled Australian flora. The entire work seems to have been created in a moment of sudden inspiration for Arthur, a scene undisturbed, with the artist possibly even remaining unnoticed himself. These years at Rosebud were amongst Arthur’s happiest, and this pure joy and freedom is evident in the select works he produced in this short but pivotal period. Rosebud provided a calm and uninhibiting environment for Arthur to discover his artistic strengths, and nurture one of Australia’s most important modern artists. Olivia Fuller / Head of Art

OTHER NOTES: In 1835 Martens began sketching around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. He was particularly inspired by the unfamiliar landscape with lush flora. It is thought that Martens paid one of the locals to ferry him between the two islands. Many of the sketches he produced on this trip progressed into later watercolours and and oil painting.

Focusing on figurative subjects, Bryk’s early plates and bowls often featured mythical creatures, decorative patterns and joyful Scandinavian folk art. In the 1960’s Bryk shifted her practice to focus on architectural pieces, compositions and wall hangings, signaling a new level of artistic maturity. Using prefabricated modular units, she effortlessly combined traditional imagery of her famous folk-art patterns with handmade monochromatic tile reliefs, dedicating her practice to public commissions and integrating her works into her primary influence of architecture. Bryk has works in many public collections, including The Design Museum in Helsinki, Danish Museum of Art and Design in Copenhagen and the National Museum in Stockholm. 65 MICHAEL SHANNON (1927-1993) Industry 1954 oil on canvas signed and dated lower left: Shannon/ 54 51 x 76.5cm PROVENANCE: Shapiro Auctioneers, Sydney, 10 December 2003, lot 11 Private collection, Queensland Private collection, Melbourne $5,000-7,000

In search of a much-needed seachange to focus on his next series of works, Charles Blackman relocated to Buderim, Queensland, in the early 1980s. This laid the foundation for his trips further north to explore the tropical greenlands and exotic nature of the Daintree region where he discovered his fascination of the rainforest. Blackman spent a great deal of time observing nature, dedicating his stay in Cairns to exploring the Atherton Tablelands, Lake Barrine, and the multitude of waterfalls and serene valleys located in between. Situated immediately outside Blackman’s hotel window in Cairns was a small garden filled with native birds and colourful butterflies, providing him with much joy and visual inspiration. After 18 months of painting, he reached a pivotal point in his exploration and shifted his focus to the majestic butterfly. ‘The more I thought about it, the more the butterfly seemed to be a carrier of the message. The butterflies were like the illuminated manuscripts of the great cathedral’.1 This concept became the main focal point for his next body of works - the rainforest as a cathedral. With a strong desire to marry the two images, Blackman often referred to the impact of light and the layers of trees filtering the sun leaving colourful specks across the forest floor, like that of the colourful stainedglass windows inside the cathedral. ‘In my mind I saw the vaulted cathedral and the rainforest cathedral one inside the other, I saw the cathedral fill the forest’.2 With the nostalgia of a childhood fold-over painting, here Stained Glass Butterfly 1984 radiates at the centre of a two-fold panel. The enlarged creature hovers over a burst of vibrant orange silk, contrasted with the thick bite of black outlining its presence. The use of fabric and dramatic black outline carries a Japanese aesthetic, similar to the black and colour contrast of a woodblock print. So too, the vibrant and strong colour palette combined with the black outlining is reminiscent of the lead lined windows within a cathedral’s walls. The concept of the butterfly’s wings opening, reminiscent of the unfolding of the book or manuscript in preparation for a reading, linking the butterfly back as the carrier of the message and a key to the remembrance of the rainforest. Over the course of Blackman’s time studying the butterfly within its natural habitat, he documented an extraordinary range of movements and variations which became a significant body of work. Blackman took to this period with an astonishing burst of inventiveness and artistic maturity, signalling a time in his career and life where he was at peace with himself as much as his surroundings.
