Auguste Blackman’s ‘The Cows Are Home’ is a delightful portrait of a calf. Captured in a monochromatic palette, this cow is proud and sweet – an unexpectedly commanding subject. Barnyard nursery rhymes, trips to the farm and pastoral bliss come to mind.
Auguste is a respected Australian artist who has consistently exhibited for almost forty years. That he is the progeny of revered artistic dynasty the Blackman family, contributes a unique perspective to his work. Whether reflecting on the experience of growing up among artists, or demonstrating a born passion for painting, Auguste remains a dynamic and rich voice in Australian art.
