Defined by the practice of line-making, drawing is accessible to any who seek to put lines to a flat surface.

Drawing is a crucial tool to develop artistic skills, commonly seen in artists’ early careers in the process of developing, and draughting, emerging ideas.

The former was a prominent figure in Australian Modernism; a man whose Schoolgirls and Alices are embedded in our visual lexicon. The latter, Barbara Blackman, is a poet, writer, advocate and muse. By the age of twenty-two she was blind, a diagnosis that at first felt like “a life sentence for a crime I had not committed” but in turn gave her a unique outlook on life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Barbara to Charles, the faces populating ‘Women’ (the series from which this work stems) are Auguste’s muses. They continue a longtime art historical interest in the feminina, placing, as the artist states “iconic heads of women” foremost. There are echoes of Pablo Picasso’s cubist portraits, Henri Matisse’s bliss and Charles’s bittersweet. Conceived in drawing class then animated in Auguste’s studio, these women are odes to the feminine lifeforce. Lines wind around them like rivers, “a map of the trials they have endured” says Auguste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuguste dedicates this series to his mother. While perhaps best known for her marriage, Barbara lived a life in many acts. She was a columnist, radio-producer and an interviewer for the National Library’s oral history program. She wrote two books, one an autobiography and the other a transcript of her correspondence with writer Judith Wright, and 2012 was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia. Most vivid however, is her outlook on life – steered by emotional honesty, she perceived blindness not as a negative but as “a different way of seeing”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work was born during quarantine.

Intriguingly ambiguous, their face is pared back to two small and unsettled eyes. Colour blossoms across their torso – oranges give way to red, blue and violet, bleeding from the heart to the face. It is as though a fire burns within the rib cage, or perhaps they are emerging from a cocoon, shedding their exoskeleton to take a new form.

It was a framed portrait of his former partner, ballet dancer Paul Clarke who had abruptly died seven years earlier. The gift was from Robert Juniper – an artist best known for his landscapes. When he met Clarke in 1978 however, only months before his death, Juniper felt compelled to capture his beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something of the ballet in Juniper’s hand. Slight yet fluid, he draws out Clarke’s features, letting his pencil leap across the page in poised quickness.

He met Clarke while with the London Festival Ballet’s production of Rudolf Nureyev’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’; Clarke was the production’s Principal Dancer.

He had won the prestigious Cite des Artes scholarship and upon setting down in France, fell in love with the culture, commencing what art historians refer to as his “Golden Era” for drawing. He set out to immerse himself in Parisian culture, to become a “serious” artist by mastering the nude. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Standing Nude’ comes from this era. It recalls Kenneth Clark’s famous delineation between naked and nude — the former denoting the unclothed, the latter a loaded concept, aesthetic and convention. The nude, Clark argued, was not a subject in art “but a form” and any good artist must wrangle it to progress. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSensual, minimal and elegant, ‘Standing Nude’ sees Blackman dance with art history. It is a personal expression of creative sophistication, liberated from the shackles of Australia and social conservatism, while also recalling the complex position nudes hold — at once mythological and intimate, caught between strength and vulnerability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigned, newly framed and provenanced from the Charles Blackman Foundation, the highly collectable ‘Standing Nude’ pulls the viewer back to the city of love.
