Charles Blackman OBE (1928–2018), one of Australia’s most celebrated figurative artists, created Moonlight, a beautiful and impressively large work in luminous blue and green tones featuring a white cat in a garden under moonlight. Inspired by his time in Avonsleigh in 1954 with his wife, poet Barbara Blackman, the image recalls his late-night walks home, where childhood fears gave way to imagination. This poetic work captures Blackman’s enduring fascination with memory, emotion, and dreams. A haunting yet tender reflection of his inner world, Moonlight embodies the lyrical charm that defines his art. Signed by Charles Blackman, this limited edition screenprint is from the distinguished National Australia Bank Modern Art Collection.
A founding member of the Antipodeans Group alongside Arthur Boyd and John Brack, Blackman’s art captured the emotional and psychological undercurrents of postwar Australia. His Moonlight (Avonsleigh) series reflects the sensitivity that defined his work, born from his time in the Dandenong Ranges. Blackman combined innocence with unease, light with shadow. Awarded the OBE for his contribution to Australian art, he remains a defining figure whose evocative works continue to enchant collectors worldwide.
