STAR-SPANGLED SILHOUETTE: Post-Dallas, the 1965 Perennial Woman calendar bypassed grief for style. Lifted from a wire photo, Betty Brader’s lithograph placed Jackie against a crisp grid of the stars and stripes—a stylised, eternal icon of Americana. #60s #60sstyle #america #starsandstripes #style

A mid-century Pop Art lithograph of Jacqueline Kennedy from the 1965 Perennial Woman calendar by Betty Brader. The artwork displays a full-length, stylised fashion illustration of Jackie standing elegantly in a long, chic white gown. Her statuesque posture and signature bouffant hairstyle are rendered in clean, minimalist lines. Her full-body figure is superimposed over a bold, graphic backdrop of the American flag, with large red and white horizontal stripes and a blue field of white stars framing her form in pure 1960s Pop Americana style.

No one has said 'Stand by Me'? It's brilliant! It appeals to all ages and your folks might appreciate or at least relate to the time it is set. An evergreen existential film that burns into your heart and soul. Remember also..director Rob Reiner did the Princess Bride..and Spinal Tap.

Charles Blackman 1928 - 2018. 'The Silence' 1959 Medium oil on board. Dimensions 121 x 91cm. Charles Blackman’s The Silence conveys a dreamlike tension between isolation and intimacy, often interpreted as reflecting themes of vulnerability and the fragility of human connection. #charlesblackman

In 'The Silence' by Charles Blackman, the central figure is a woman with her head lowered and eyes closed, as if deep in thought or contemplation. Her face is pale, with subtle shading that suggests a quiet, introspective mood. The background is dark, almost indistinct, focusing attention on the figure, which is the focal point of the painting. The use of muted colors, primarily shades of brown, black, and gray, creates a somber, tranquil atmosphere. The figure's posture conveys a sense of stillness, with her arms loosely at her sides, adding to the overall feeling of silence and solitude. Signed '59' in the top left corner.

John William Waterhouse. The Tempest 1891. Oil on canvas The Tempest captures a woman standing on a beach, gazing into a stormy sea. The scene conveys a sense of melancholy and longing, with the dramatic sky and crashing waves symbolising emotional turmoil and nature's power. #symbolism #painting

A woman stands on a beach, facing the ocean. She wears a flowing, light-colored dress, and her hair is gently lifted by the wind. The sky above is dark and stormy, filled with swirling clouds. The sea is rough, with large waves crashing against the shore. The woman is positioned slightly to the left of the scene, with her gaze directed towards the horizon, where the storm meets the water. The landscape is dramatic, with contrasting light on her figure against the dark background of the storm. The composition is detailed, capturing both the woman and the natural elements in vivid clarity.

Brett Whitley - Major Mitchell (Portrait of Les Martin) 1977 oil on composition board. The interplay between the human form and the bird, as well as the fluidity of the composition, showcases Whiteley’s fascination with both the natural world and the psychological dimensions of portraiture. #art

Major Mitchell (Portrait of Les Martin) by Brett Whiteley is a dynamic and emotional piece that combines the softness of human features with the energy of nature. The person in the painting, Les Martin, is portrayed in a loose, flowing way, like someone who is moving or part of the environment, rather than a static figure. His face is not sharply defined, but instead, it’s more like a gentle suggestion of a person, with soft curves and blended edges.

Around Les, there is the presence of a bright bird—Major Mitchell's Cockatoo. Picture the feeling of feathers that are soft yet textured, almost as if you could feel them in your hands. The bird is painted in a mix of pink and white colors, vibrant and alive, with the movement of its feathers suggesting energy and freedom.

Into the beautiful garden 1956 Charles BLACKMAN A striking oil painting that exemplifies his poetic approach to art. This work represents not just a physical garden but a sensory experience of it—full of texture, mood, and wonder. Evokes a dreamlike atmosphere. #charlesblackman #beautiful #dream

The painting is titled Into the Beautiful Garden, created by Charles Blackman in 1956 using oil on canvas.

This artwork evokes a dreamlike atmosphere. Imagine standing in a serene, lush garden at twilight. The scene is filled with rich, flowing colours—predominantly greens, blues, and soft yellows. These hues feel gentle, almost misty, as though filtered through a memory or a veil.

The composition is fluid, with elements of the garden—like flowers or foliage—softly suggested rather than clearly defined, giving the impression of being immersed in an imaginative, magical space. The brushstrokes are expressive and layered, creating a sense of movement and life. You might feel as though you're wandering through a vivid dream, with a focus on emotions rather than physical realism.

This work represents not just a physical garden but a sensory experience of it—full of texture, mood, and wonder.

'Jealous Circe'. John William Waterhouse (1849–1917) (1891), John William Waterhouse masterfully uses a stunning translucent green to evoke a sense of mystery and enchantment. Waterhouse's use of glazing technique gives the green its glowing, almost otherworldly quality. #mythology #fineart #art

"Circe Offering the Cup to Odysseus" (1891) by John William Waterhouse, painted in oil on canvas, depicts a scene from Ovid's Metamorphoses rather than from Homer’s Odyssey. In this moment, Circe, consumed by jealousy, casts a magical potion into a well, knowing that her rival Scylla will soon bathe there. Unlike in the Odyssey, where Circe turns Odysseus’s men into animals, this scene emphasizes her use of magic to transform Scylla into a monstrous creature. Waterhouse’s work captures themes of rivalry, transformation, and the destructive power of jealousy, using his mastery of color and light to bring the mythological drama to life.

'The Blue Alice' 1956-57 by Charles Blackman. Tempera, oil and household enamel on composition board. Charles Blackman was introduced to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland through his wife Barbara, who, due to her blindness, listened to the stories on BBC. #charlesblackman #aliceinwonderland #1950s

Charles Blackman was introduced to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland through his wife Barbara, who, due to her blindness, listened to the stories on BBC. Inspired by the vivid imagery in Carroll’s writing, Blackman saw parallels between Alice’s fantastical journey and the real-life struggles he and Barbara faced, including her failing eyesight and their financial challenges. These personal experiences shaped his series of 41 paintings, turning Alice’s tale into a deeply emotional reflection of their lives. In The Blue Alice (1956), the story merges with reality, portraying Alice (Barbara) and the White Rabbit (Blackman) being wed by the Dormouse.

Dreaming in the Street 1958 by Charles Blackman is a striking and evocative painting that blends elements of surrealism with the human experience. It depicts a girl lost in a dream-like state while surrounded by a ethereal landscape. #isolation #innocence #imagination #oilpainting #art

Dreaming in the Street by Charles Blackman is a painting that evokes a sense of quiet solitude and reflection. In the scene, a young girl is the central figure, and her expression suggests she is lost in thought or daydreaming. The background is an abstract, soft blur of street elements, perhaps a hint of buildings or streetlights, which gives the scene a dreamy, otherworldly feel. The colours are muted and gentle, creating an atmosphere that feels calm and introspective, as if time has slowed down. The girl seems to be both part of the world around her and apart from it, caught in her own inner thoughts. The overall feeling of the painting is one of stillness, where reality and imagination blend together.

photographer Max Dupain.

In this photograph, you hear a story of elegance and simplicity. The image captures a woman, with her face as the central focus. She is wearing sparkling diamante earrings, which are the key feature of the portrait. The earrings shine brightly, catching light, and creating a soft, radiant contrast against the smoothness of her skin. Her face is softly lit, with light and shadow dancing across her features, revealing the gentle curve of her cheeks and the shape of her lips. The background is dark and simple, allowing the woman and her earrings to stand out as the main subjects of attention. The expression on her face is calm, composed, and a little mysterious, evoking a sense of timeless beauty. The way the light plays across her features and the brilliance of the earrings gives a sense of elegance, quiet sophistication, and understated grace.
