Charles Blackman stands among Australia’s most beloved and collectable artists. With a career as distinct as it is diverse, his work is consistently informed by a sense of childlike wonder.

In ‘Two Butterflies’, this curiosity lands on the work’s namesake - a creature as tenacious as it is delicate. Vivacious lines and swelling colour brings this butterfly to life with characteristic Blackman verve. One is reminded of the butterfly’s symbolism – its promise that you can metamorphose from something plain and unsightly, into the utmost of beauty.

Provenanced from the Charles Blackman Foundation, this original screenprint comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Charles Blackman Foundation. For collectors of Blackman, whimsical works and prints, behold ‘Two Butterflies’.
