Charles Blackman’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ is a visual epic. In six vignettes, the play’s drama unfurls, its themes of love, the carnivalesque and the problem of time dancing across Blackman’s nimble hand.

Blackman, in a way particular to him, was fascinated by storytelling – its ability to understand nuance, inspire and give shape to the events that plot our lives. Whether personal, cultural or mythic, he spent his career at the beck-and-call of great storytelling.

In ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’, from the highly-regarded ‘Garden Suite’, this penchant for story is clear. For collectors of Blackman and classical art, get in quick — the curtains are about to draw.
