‘Tis the voice of the Lobster: I heard him declare “You have baked me too brown, I must sugar my hair.” As a duck with its eyelids, so he with his nose Trims his belt and his buttons, and turns out his toes. When the sands are all dry, he is gay as a lark, And will talk in contemptuous tones of the Shark; But, when the tide rises and sharks are around, His voice has a timid and tremulous sound. I passed by his garden, and marked, with one eye, How the Owl and the Panther were sharing a pie: The Panther took pie-crust, and gravy, and meat, While the Owl had the dish as its share of the treat. When the pie was all finished, the Owl, as a boon, Was kindly permitted to pocket the spoon; While the Panther received knife and fork with a growl, And concluded the banquet by --LEWIS CARROLL 30 CHARLES BLACKMAN (born 1928) Owl c.1957-58 oil and enamel on board signed lower right: CHARLES BLACKMAN 74 x 61cm PROVENANCE: Christie’s, Melbourne, 25 November 1997, lot 9 Private collection, Melbourne RELATED WORK: Rabbit with pince-nez 1956, tempera and oil on cardboard, 70 x 51.6cm Essex Street Magpie 1957, oil on glass, 29.3 x 34.3cm, The Collection of Barbara Blackman $25,000-35,000 © Charles Blackman.

On first glance Owl c.1957-58 might appear to be an unusual choice of subject for Charles Blackman, however when one digs a little deeper, there are in fact a myriad of curious associations. During the mid 1950s, Blackman and Clifton Pugh enjoyed trips to Queensland’s Glasshouse Mountains and when reflecting upon this experience Pugh remarked ‘being out painting lots and lots of times with Charles Blackman, I liked him very much. It often strikes me that you can relate a person to an animal. I could only think of Charles Blackman in relation to a bird. (1)” Felicity St John Moore deepened the connection further when she revealed in the book Charles Blackman; Alice in Wonderland that “Birdie” was a nickname for Blackman which may have prompted inspiration for Pugh’s Archibald winning portrait Charles Blackman and the blackbirds 1959. (2) The Owl also connects to Alice in Wonderland and makes a fleeting appearance in Lewis Carroll’s iconic writings in a poem called “Tis the Voice of the Lobster”(3). In contrast Charles Blackman, at least for a moment, grants his hybrid bird creature centre stage as a fully formed, self-assured character akin to that bestowed upon the Rabbit in his Alice series. (Blackman’s Rabbit with pince-nez 1956 makes for an interesting study comparison.) Perhaps it is unsurprising that The Owl follows on from Alice Phoenix 1957 as in this farewell to his Alice in Wonderland sequence Blackman creates a “… more abstract and pictorial space, [and] weaves fragments of his earlier series with images of birds, the latter reflecting his recent painting trip to the Glasshouse Mountains with Clifton Pugh.”4 Whilst Blackman was drawn to the bird character for only a short time, Owl reveals intriguing and previously unseen links to a seminal era within his oeuvre.

JOHN BRACK As a painter of modern Australian life, John Brack’s interest in the human condition remained a constant theme throughout a career that spanned more than five decades. In his work of the 1950s and 60s, this was self-evident in his depiction of the people and places surrounding him. However, following his first trip overseas in mid-1970, literal representations of the human figure disappeared (with the exception of the nude and portraits), to be replaced with every day, inanimate objects such as pens, pencils, cutlery, playing cards, and umbrellas. Brack discussed his metaphoric use of objects in an interview with James Gleeson in 1978 (one year after The Umbrellas was painted): “[The objects] were the nearest things to hand in the studio, which for me could represent figures. They are a general representation of figures in paintings like Collins Street, 5 pm, 1955, (in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne). I was looking for something that would provide me with the means of making a more general, more universal statement.” 1 Brack was searching “for a new visual metaphor that would permit him to express the whole complexity of social interconnections.”2 Pencils and pens marched in war and in protest, playing cards performed and passed comment on power hierarchies. Brack’s work of the 1970s revealed his increasing preoccupation with the fragility of our existance and the inevitability of death. The closed umbrellas in this work teeter on the point of collapse, tentatively moving down the incline. The umbrella, like a walking stick, protects and stablises, providing assurance. However, here, they are not just a prop but a symbol of the uncertainties that we invariably all face. As Brack stated:

“They are intended to have some reference to the complexity of life, of any life, so therefore they are intended to be both balanced and unbalanced, they are intended to be moving and intended to be still, they are intended to be coherent and intended to be incoherent… in other words, these are premeditated ambiguities.”3 Ella Perrottet Assistant Researcher

92 CHARLES BLACKMAN (born 1928) Burnley Dreams 1954 oil on masonite double-sided (image verso: Cat with Circus Hat) signed upper right: BLACKMAN 61 x 76cm PROVENANCE: The Collection of Barbara Blackman, Canberra RELATED WORKS: Schoolgirls at Burnley c.1952-3, enamel on board, 60 x 83cm The Chase 1952, tempera on board, 75 x 99.5cm, The Collection of the Artist $25,000-35,000 © Charles Blackman. Licensed by Viscopy Ltd. Australia

In this rather dreamlike early painting, the smoking chimneys and shadowed stacks on the single-storey terrace houses in Burnley are the backdrop for a personal dream of creation and collaboration. The figure of the young artist, in black beret attire, is poised behind the shaky fence on the left, while his painting hand reaches towards the earth mother form floating on a post in the foreground. This totemic image is a symbol of his wife Barbara’s psyche. Its rounded surface is brushed with gold in line with the sunlit roof of the terrace house behind; the fresh greens of its cheeks and pinks of its forehead suggest the promise of new life; its fixed eyes seem to contain her knowledge and inner strength. In the early fifties Blackman’s urban landscape imagery is stimulated by dawn walks with Barbara through Burnley and Richmond on their way to Victoria Market. Her low vision meant that he needed to describe the world - a running commentary that sharpened his observations. “I shall achieve but only I feel through Barbara” he wrote to her, “I know it, above me it stands, a clear vision.” Her imagined, listening presence breaks the monotony of the suburban terraces, introducing notions of individualism, communication and conversation.
