The Crack Up 1973,
an important museum quality painting from the period
of Blackman international acclaim following his victory
at the
Helena Rubenstein Art Award
in London
(1961)
that started Blackman international recognition.
Only one of only few Australian paintings relating to Pop-Art, an important international art movement. Crack-Up portrays a famous American writer Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda. The black outline around two figures (Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda) epitomizes a rare Australian tie to the global movement Pop-Art.Scott Fitzgerald regarded as one of the twentieth century's greatest writers and his wife Zelda were good friends with the Blackman’s. Charles Blackman depicts Zelda in warm and happy tones yet, as she is peeled from the mind of her husband, almost as she was Fitzgerald own creation. Blackman portrays the troubled writer Scott Fitzgerald in dark chilly shades. Crack-Up is a superb painting and indeed a brilliant work of art. It is a razor sharp, but tender, exciting and emotionally moving painting opening feelings of the tormented writer, his passions and suffering. Australian artists, far from the rest of the world, seldom embodied a new significant international movements except for some internationally renowned Australian artists. Charles Blackman lived in London in the centre of international art 1961 to 1966 and was able to recognize and embrace the important worldwide art progress of Andy Warhol style identified as Pop-Art. Women shaped Charles Blackman life and he is at ease painting feminine subject's; famous Schoolgirls series, Alice series and works of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. The most famous Schoolgirls series conveys the sense of vulnerability that underpins much of Blackman work. Blackman friend, Joy Hester, said "The hand and the eye of the painter is what love is to a poet" and so Blackman's art has the infinite power and universal appeal, he is loved by all. |

Blackman was living in London from 1961-66. Even though Blackman has shown the sustaining power to originate a wide supply of superb images over a period of five decades but many of his early paintings were destroyed during the Melbourne fire except for some which live to tell the tale. Blackman has exhibited frequently since and is known for his facility in drawing. In 1951 Blackman married a poet, Barbara Patterson, who was to become a lasting presence in his work. Blackman was a co-founder of the Melbourne Contemporary Art Society in 1953 and was one of seven Antipodeans responsible for the Antipodean Manifesto. Antipodean Manifesto was a reaction against what they saw as the meteoric rise of abstract expressionism and non-figurative art in Australia and its intolerance of figurative painting. Blackman has won many awards throughout his career, including the Rowney prize for drawing in 1959, the Helena Rubenstein Scholarship in 1960, the Dyeson Endowment Award and the Crouch Prize. Blackman's work was included in the Whitechapel Open Exhibition in 1961 and Tate Gallery exhibitions of Australian Art 1962-63. A major retrospective, 'Schoolgirls and Angels' was organised in 1993 by the National Gallery of Victoria and was touring to Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.Charles Blackman haunting and enchanting images of women and girls, have an enduring appeal. Two significant themes in his work have been the Schoolgirl and Alice in Wonderland and the accentuation of his figure's eyes occur throughout Blackman's works with a pervasive sense of melancholy Alice paintings
Charles Blackman is one of those artists whose work remains compelling for a large audience like Nolan’s Ned Kelly, a fractured Picasso woman or a Salvatore Dali melting watch, Blackman’s Alice's and tea party, schoolgirls and lovers have become fixtures in the modern imagination. Blackman's fascination, discovery and understanding of the female charm and affection make up an important part of his creativity.
