Sidney Nolan: An Icon of Modern Australian Art

Sidney Nolan (1917-1992) produced one of the most distinctive and diverse bodies of work of any Australian painter of the 20th century. It was in the 1940s that Nolan found his artistic voice, one imbued with poetic sensibility, which he continued to develop in the ensuing decades. For Sidney Nolan, the expression of emotion was key above all else. His body of work can be viewed in series like ‘visual poems’, which when considered collectively, weave together a unique visual language identifiable as Nolan’s own.

“I’m very interested, in fact, compelled and dedicated to transmitting emotions and I care for very little else. I care for that process so much that I’m prepared to belt the paint across the canvas much faster than it should be belted, I don’t care so long as I can get the emotional communication, I will sacrifice everything to it –and this I’ve done.” (Sidney

Nolan)

Within these 228 lots, there are works spanning from the 1950s onwards, presenting works that showcase his diverse travels and knowledge of the Australian landscape, as well as the terrain of Antarctica, wildlife of Africa, and the treasures of Greece and Asia. This forms the largest single auction of Sidney Nolan artworks ever presented to market, and we greatly look forward bringing this collection to the public with Leonard Joel.

Sidney Nolan: Myths, Legends, Landscapes –

Sir Sidney Nolan (1917-1992) was one of Australia’s most recognised artists, nationally and internationally. He was also the most appreciated Australian artist of his generation with John Reed promoting his paintings almost as soon as Nolan took up the brush and a whole string of luminaries – including Kenneth Clark in London and Elwyn Lynn in Australia – amongst his devotees. Nolan also has over a dozen monographs devoted to his art and a long string of retrospective and survey exhibitions have been held in the major public art galleries of Australia.

Nolan was a highly experimental artist who was unbelievably prolific and tackled multiple mediums across many art forms from easel paintings to monumental murals, stage sets and sculptures in gold. One of his biographers, Tom Rosenthal, observed that Nolan “was a prodigious worker who probably left over 10,000 significant individual works, from flimsy transfer drawings to tiny paintings on glass or slate to elaborate collages to massive polyptychs nearly forty feet long”. Barry Pearce, who curated Nolan’s major retrospective exhibition in Sydney in 2007, calculated that Nolan’s oeuvre, in paintings alone, stood at about 35,000 works, but this estimate is considered by the Nolan Estate to be grossly exaggerated based on number of paintings in the estate and sold at auction since 1969. Now, more than two decades after his passing, we are still gradually processing his heritage preserved in the estate of Lady Mary Nolan and discovering rarely seen or previously never exhibited Nolan gems across a variety of mediums and techniques.

Nolan was an exceptionally well informed, well-read, and cerebral artist, who was aware of the national tragic myths that punctuated the European struggles for national identity, especially during the Romantic period. To some extent the desire for myths and legends that Nolan brought to the fore in some of his best work could also be viewed as part of a much broader international tradition. Nolan’s Ned Kelly, Burke and Wills, Mrs Fraser and the Gallipoli soldiers to us appear more real and genuine than photographs and historical documents. He does not celebrate heroic acts that lead to conventional hero-worship, but actions that often ended in defeat and acts of courage that lead to disaster and national trauma. Through these, as in European art, Nolan created lasting icons of national identity.

Landscapes were also an important aspect of Nolan’s art, but I don’t think that Nolan made Australians see their country afresh. Unlike with Fred Williams, Arthur Streeton or Hans Heysen, we do not look at a landscape and say that’s a Nolan landscape, even in the red centre. His genius was for the experimental emblematic creation. Like the Ned Kelly emblem which has become the single most recognisable visual image of Australia. He was a supremely inventive artist who employed bricolage with a stroke of genius. Throughout this selection of Nolan’s work there is a heightened sense of visual excitement, experimentation and the expressed desire to be different.

The drawing, Auschwitz head, c.1957, as in so much of Nolan’s best work, with an exceptional economy of pictorial means creates a haunting image that when coupled with the title becomes powerful and memorable. This is one of several works on this theme that is included in this selection.

Another important recurring theme amongst this body of work deals with the Anzacs at Gallipoli. Nolan had a personal link with the theme as his brother had drowned in 1945 and he associated this with the Anzacs who lost their lives on the beaches off Gallipoli. The mixed media drawing on paper, ANZAC soldiers Gallipoli, 1961, is one of several Gallipoli series works in this collection and belongs to several hundred works that he painted on this theme between the mid-1950s and the late 1970s. Nolan visited the battlefield site only once, in October 1957, but it seemed to charge his imagination. He wrote, “I stood on the place where the first ANZACs had stood, looked across the straits to the site of ancient Troy, and felt that here history had stood still … I visualised the young, fresh faces of the boys from the bush, knowing nothing of war or faraway places, all individuals, and suddenly all the same – united and uniform in the dignity of the common destiny.”

Nolan was involved with stage sets and dancers as witnessed by several mixed media drawings from the 1960s, including Dancer, circa 1961, and a whole bundle of highly expressive works titled Rite of Spring, 1962. When Kenneth MacMillan choreographed Stravinsky’s ‘The Rite of Spring’ for the Royal Ballet for London’s Covent Garden production in 1962, Nolan designed the costumes and sets. He employed earthy ochres and gave a distinctive Aboriginal flavour to the production largely inspired by Axel Poignant’s body of photographs made during a six-month stay in several Arnhem Land communities in 1952. Poignant subsequently photographed the MacMillan/Nolan production and in one of the photographs captures Nolan executing paintings in this selection in aniline dye, wax crayon and metallic paint on paper. As with much of Nolan’s best work, there is a startling freshness with the ability to surprise and astound the viewer.

Nolan was an addicted traveller, internationally and throughout Australia. In this selection of Nolan’s work there are images from Antarctica, Africa and the Australian outback, including memorable images such as Drought, circa 1961, Desert Landscape, circa 1961, Figures in landscape, 1967, and Central Australia and animal form, 1969. No selection of Nolan’s work would be complete without some Kelly work and that of his obsessive hero, the French poet Arthur Rimbaud. Two of the strongest works from these thematic obsessions are Ned Kelly – Jerilderie letter, c.1966, and the major oil painting Rimbaud at Harar, 1963.

Nolan frequently found inspiration in literature, literary themes and Greek mythology, for example, Rimbaud, Lowell, Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Leda and the Swan, Oedipus, Orpheus and the Minotaur and Theseus, but he never became a literary or illustrative artist. The literary or mythological impulse was his point of departure for a very personal and unexpected visual invention.

In 1943, Nolan’s friend and fellow artist, Albert Tucker, presented an apt assessment of Nolan when he wrote in Angry Penguins, “His long immersion in radical modernism, prolific with magnificent trivialities, has paid dividends in the development of an individual perception of a very high order, and in the steady growth of a rare lyrical talent.” This assessment held true as Nolan’s art grew and blossomed for the next half century.

OTHER NOTES:

In 1947, Nolan spent several weeks on Fraser Island whilst visiting Queensland. He learnt of the story of Mrs. Eliza Fraser - including her survival after the shipwreck amongst the local Indigenous Australians, her eventual return to England, and the impact of her claims about her experience.

It inspired the series by Sidney Nolan featuring Mrs. Fraser.

“In June 1987, I photographed Sid Nolan on one of his infrequent visits to Australia. We met at Rob Imhoff’s Lighthouse Studio where I photographed him with a cut-out Kelly mask. He loved it. He played with the cardboard cut-out in ways I hadn’t expected.”

“I had this cliché idea of Antarctica being flat, an enormous paddock across which dogs would run and explorers would battle … but I found a majestic kind of great continent, very much higher than Switzerland, and glaciers the size of Sydney Harbour coming down at steep angles. One felt this instantaneous fear at the first sight of it, that it would annihilate one; but this was overcome by the sense of wonder in it.”

OTHER NOTES:

Nolan began his career making abstracts before gradually shifting into figuration in the early 1940s. He did not return to abstraction until the late 1960s when he began work on his enormous multi-panel Oceania paintings (the series includes Paradise Gardens, Arts Centre Melbourne; and Snake, MONA, Hobart). The present work is a rare example of Nolan’s large-scale single panel abstracts from this period.

RELATED WORKS:

Sidney Nolan, Rimbaud at Harar 1963, 152.5 x 122cm in Pearce, B., Sidney Nolan, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 2007, p.186 (illustrated)

Nolan’s 1962-63 African paintings were largely inspired by his interest in the French poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) who spent most of the latter part of his life in East Africa. The painting is probably loosely based on a photograph of the poet dressed in white, taken in 1883.

It is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the export of any lots purchased are not subject to, or in breach of, this Act.
