In the 1970’s Brett Whiteley took new inspiration from his living room window looking out upon the visual ecstasy of Lavender Bay, which not only culminated in his iconic 1974 exhibition at Australian Galleries, but also marked the beginning of Whiteley’s ‘mature’ phase as an artist. Whiteley once commented on his keen interest in sculpture, noting that it is the “bounce between” painting and sculpture that constantly intrigued him. It is through this dialogue that the two mediums correlate and harmonise, with discoveries in one form finding their expression in the other. He collaborated with a number of Australian potters including Derek Smith, Shigeo Shiga, and John Dellow, producing a variety of vases, plates and other ceramic vessels drawn with calligraphic gestures in blue glaze over a white porcelain background. Similar to the dichotomy between painting and sculpture, Whiteley’s affinity with calligraphy was formed around his observations that “calligraphy’s poetry simply comes down to being the discrepancy between seeing and feeling”. His fluid brushwork across all mediums reflects a lyrical response to the calligraphic style.

Between 1923 and 1966 George Bell taught more than 1000 students from his studio at 443 Bourke Street including Eric Thake, Alan Warren, Russell Drysdale, Barbara Brash, Alan Sumner, Jack Courier, and Ian Fairweather. Bell had been prompted by developments in Europe to question his approach to painting and during an extended visit there in the 1930s he studied drawing with Iain McNab, associated with artists in the New English Art Club and became interested in the writings and theories of Clive Bell and Roger Fry, English champions of CĂŠzanne and Post-Impressionism. Bell taught form, distortion, and expression, and he stressed that art had to arise from pure imagination. His studio soon became the centre of conscious modernism, where pioneering strategies against the conservative forces were formed.

20TH CENTURY 94 RUPERT BUNNY (1864-1947) Lady in a Hammock monotype monogrammed in plate upper left signed lower right: Rupert CW Bunny 23.5 x 29cm $9,000-12,000
Rupert Bunny was one of the early exponents of the monotype which gained popularity amongst artists working in Paris in the late nineteenth century. He first exhibited eighteen prints in 1898, opting to promote his new work at London’s Fine Art Society gallery as a hybrid process of drawing and colour printing. The immediacy of the medium, which abandons the traditional studio process, was commended in the catalogue, noting its “freshness and directness… not found in their oil or water-colour”.[1] Stylistically, Lady in a Hammock relates to the first group of monoprints Bunny made c.1898-c.1905. His control over the medium, his consideration of the composition and the placement of brush strokes on the metal/glass plate and the balanced colour palette subvert the association between monotypes and spontaneity.

96 EMANUEL PHILLIPS FOX (1865-1915) Mosque, Tangiers 1915 oil on canvas on board signed and dated lower right: E. Phillips Fox 1915 35.5 x 44cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, Melbourne Thence by descent $12,000-18,000
When E. Phillips Fox and his wife Ethel Carrick Fox travelled to Algeria and Morocco in 1911, they followed the passage of many influential International and Australian artists – Eugène Delacroix, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Claude Monet, Auguste Pierre Renoir, Charles Conder, Bessie Davidson and Margaret Preston. The journey offered them an opportunity to paint en plein air in a new environment. They experimented with style, colour and brushwork, influenced by the heat, radiant white light, new smells, customs and observed public spaces. Mosque Tangiers 1915 demonstrates the shift in technique that was inspired in Fox’s paintings after his trip to the Maghreb. Solid geometric forms dominate the composition and he applied a highly keyed palette. The richness of paint was orchestrated to capture the effect of white light, its clarity and radiating heat.
