Finding New Ways to Connect At its most testing, the last 12 months truly taught us all to rethink and reassess our connections, but mostly how we connect. I’ll never forget our March 2020 Fine Art auction in Melbourne, with seats ordered at 1.5m distances across the room. If you’d have mentioned face masks back then I would have thought you were asking me about my beauty regime. Although it has certainly put us to the test, the last year has revealed new trends, patterns and ways of connecting that have truly transformed the art world. From conducting valuations of priceless paintings via FaceTime, to offering contactless deliveries we now had to think outside the box - the bricks and mortar box that is. The conversation around art moved further into the digital realm. So, as we look ahead, here are my top three tips for how to connect with our art auctions in 2021: 1. Browse - take the time to sit down in a quiet moment and look. Encourage yourself to look beyond your usual picks as you might surprise yourself with something unexpected. The best pieces in a collection are often the pleasant surprises. Browsing the catalogues online is the best way to see the entire spread, saving your “favourites” into your Leonard Joel web account along the way. 2. Consider different ways of seeing - so you now have had an initial look, but why not consider a different perspective. Engage with a specialist for a private virtual tour through Facetime or Zoom. It’s a great way of getting a closer look at the entire display and also having a one-on-one consultation with an expert. Not to mention you can see the art through someone else’s eyes (or camera lens) from the comfort of your own home! Alternatively keep an eye on our Instagram stories for insightful spot-talks from our specialists on selected works. 3. Preparing to buy - before bidding in auction it’s a great idea to find out what transaction options are on offer, as well as pick-up and delivery services. In 2021 we are pleased to announce a new partnership with Art Money to assist you in growing your collections. Plus, our new Leonard Joel Home Delivery team can advise on the logistics to make the arrival of your new purchase as easy as possible. So whether it be a museum-quality Tom Roberts portrait (lot 10), or a Charles Blackman masterwork (lot 31), or perhaps even an impressive Nic Fiddian-Green bronze sculpture (lot 40), I hope you continue to connect with our art and our team in new and exciting ways.

TOM ROBERTS

Tom Roberts is celebrated for his epic paintings – Shearing the Rams, 1890 (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne); A Break Away! 1891 (Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide); and Bailed Up, 1895 (Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney). Their heroic grandeur overshadows his achievements as a gifted landscape painter, once designated ‘father of Australian landscape painting’. 1 Moreover, by the late 19th century Roberts had become Australia’s leading portrait painter. Allied to his enthusiastic promotion of the establishment of a national portrait gallery, during the 1890s he painted a series of panel portraits of prominent male personalities. George Coppin of theatre fame and violinist Johann Kruse were among them. His many portraits of women, such as An Australian Native, 1888 (National Gallery of Australia, Canberra), were greatly admired for their elegance and beauty. When Roberts painted his ‘Big Picture’ of the opening of the first parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, it involved nearly three hundred portrait studies. 2 It is therefore not surprising that portraits make up nearly half his oeuvre. In her catalogue raisonné of Roberts’ work, Helen Topliss lists our painting as ‘Unidentified, Portrait of a Lady’, dating it ‘early-mid 1880s’. She describes it as ‘a dark tonal painting executed with a fine academic brushstroke technique’. 3 Although the identity of the sitter continues to avoid detection, there is a facial likeness to Roberts’ idolised early portrait, ‘A Spanish Beauty’ of c.1883-84 (private collection, London). 4 This can be seen in the lips, nose, cheeks and strong jaw line, supported by the detailed, tonal modelling. Plain, dark backgrounds effectively contrast against well-lit faces. Even the mantilla in ‘A Spanish Beauty’ is complemented by an abundance of dark hair in Portrait of a Lady. But there is a difference. In her absorbing study of Roberts’ portraits, Julie Cotter notes that ‘A Spanish Beauty’ ‘engages with the subtleties of desire’ and remarks on the ‘soft sensuality’ of her face. 5 Portrait of a Lady is more demure. Roberts travelled in Spain in the summer into autumn of 1883, marvelling at the works of Velázquez, then much admired by the younger artists. His companions included fellow Australian painter John Russell. Works painted on tour, A Corner in the Alhambra (National Gallery of Australia) and Una Muchacha, (private collection, Melbourne) for example, are inscribed with their locations and dated October 1883. Small for better portability, they are lighter and brighter of palette than the larger ‘A Spanish Beauty’ and Portrait of a Lady. The latter carries the Windsor and Newton, London canvas maker’s mark on the verso. The question arises - were these two portraits painted in Spain, or later in his London studio?

“Pensive, a touch wistful, no lines of age disrupt her beauty. Subtly, demure looks entice and intimacy is enhanced through the harmony of forms. Acutely and sensitively observed, Portrait of a Lady shows Roberts’ singular talent for painting women, especially those of exquisite charm.” DAVID THOMAS

TOM ROBERTS (1856-1931) A Spanish Beauty Private collection

When ‘A Spanish Beauty’ was shown in the Australian Impressionism exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2007, another question was raised: ‘Was this the work of an English lady in fancy dress?’ asked Humphrey McQueen, adding: ‘The social columns were replete with accounts of costume balls when the leaders of society revelled in Spanishness’. 6 Spanish inspired, located, or otherwise, perhaps ‘A Spanish Beauty’ and Portrait of a Lady might best be described as ‘tronies’, derived from the Dutch 17th century for ‘face’ and frequently found in Rembrandt’s work. They differ from portraits in that the sitters are anonymous, often exotically dressed in imagined costume, exaggerated or meditative of expression, idealisation of face particular to beauty, age, or piety. Is Portrait of a Lady a mirrored likeness or an ideal? Pensive, a touch wistful, no lines of age disrupt her beauty. Subtly, demure looks entice and intimacy is enhanced through the harmony of forms. Acutely and sensitively observed, Portrait of a Lady shows Roberts’ singular talent for painting women, especially those of exquisite charm. Accustomed as we are to portraits rectangular and filling entire canvases, the oval has been engaged by some of the greatest masters. A Bust of a Young Woman, 1633, in Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, is among Rembrandt’s finest. And Ingres’ Madame Philibert Rivière, 1806, in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, has been described as ‘one of the most splendid images in French portraiture’. 7 While our oval portrait is not unique in Roberts’ art, it is rare. 8 David Thomas

Raven Collection, Melbourne, 17 April 1989, lot 453 Private collection, Brisbane Deutscher~Menzies, Melbourne, 21 August 2001, lot 61 Private collection, New South Wales Private collection, Melbourne

After 13 years abroad, Albert Tucker was keen to reacquaint himself with the Australian landscape returning in 1960. Rather than focusing on gumtrees, Tucker discovered a newfound interest in the animals he saw on a trip to the Healesville Sanctuary. Painting almost exclusively indoors while he was abroad, it came to many as a surprise when Tucker dedicated an entire body of work and much time to the creatures he observed outdoors and became so fond of. With a strong focus on bird wildlife, Tucker found these paintings therapeutic and incredibly satisfying to produce. While relishing in this release, his main focus was on the conceptual, figurative and symbolic nature of the bird in his work, particularly in the form of the

Ibis and Brolga. Captivated by their solidarity and elegance, he sought to highlight the allegorical nature of the birds and their strength within the natural setting of the animal kingdom. Lucy Foster Fine Art Specialist $35,000-45,000 Viewing in Sydney

CHARLES BLACKMAN

Charles Blackman remains one of Australia’s most significant modern artists. His work explores subjects from schoolgirls and angels, to Alice in Wonderland and Orpheus, and white cats and bunny rabbits with an inherently lyrical perspective. Blackman continues to enchant and intrigue us. His art is more concerned with intuition than with observation, with what is felt rather than with what is seen1. It is this emotional intent that cuts through the wit of the unconscious, beneath what Freud referred to as the stage where the “dreamwork” begins. Through the process of dreaming, Charles was able to dissect and highlight raw emotion - however pleasurable or difficult it might be. In Dreamtime we see Charles’ powerful ability to render a sense of light with dark. The use of black can traditionally bring forward a sense of anxiety and nervousness, however, here it also highlights the notion that this is an alternative reality, a dream, where the darkness leaves the mind open to possibility. As with many of Charles’ paintings, we seek to interpret a deeper psychological meaning in the work. At the fore is the natural world with all its delights - a sea of lush flowers connecting the four corners of this painting. The foliage moves across the canvas in a peaceful rhythm, with a scattering of blue flowers, both reminiscent of the magical world of Wonderland but also instilling the work with a sense of peace. At the centre is our subject - the dreaming figure. She rests atop a pillow of leaves, crowning her face with eyes peacefully closed. A hand comes forth from the darkness to reaffirm her presence. Although she is surrounded by the lush foliage, she is not dominated by its growth but rather at one with it. She appears to coagulate out of the blackened background, like a spirit, although we are left wondering if at any moment she could become engulfed. This is one of Charles’ greatest skills as a painter - being able to impart a sense of calm yet subtle unease at the same time.

62 CHARLES CONDER (1868-1909) Ladies Playing Croquet oil on canvas signed lower right: CONDER 90 x 70cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, Melbourne Thence by descent After establishing himself as a key founding member of the Heidelberg School of Australian Impressionism, Conder returned to France familiarising himself with the Bohemian café scene in Montmartre and Montparnasse. Befriending artists such as Toulouse -Lautrec and Edouard

30

Dujardin, he embraced their new-aged approach to their practice. Moving through a period of adjustment, Conder attuned his palette to the more subtle colour base of the European light and greener scenery, moving away from the harsher qualities of the Australian landscape.

Ladies Playing Croquet was most likely painted during one of Conder’s brief stays in England, which became more frequent in 1894. Set in a luscious manicured garden of well-dressed women, this work exemplifies the stylised romanticism in line with the aesthetic period. Framing the work is an elongated arching tree, revealing specks of light from the background indicative of Conder’s Japanese influences. This is also evident in the

figures’ dresses, similar to that of the paintings on silk he championed during this period. This work exemplifies Conder’s ability to combine a multitude of disciplines and influences seamlessly - from the colours of the Romantics, to the stylised setting of the aesthetic movement, and Japonisme (inspired by Whistler). By the turn of the century, Conder’s work reached a new refined subtlety and beauty which he had endeavoured to achieve throughout his career.
