William Robinson: Inspirations: 30 July 2015 to 17 July 2016
Get PDFIt was an enormous compliment to be asked to curate this
exhibition of William Robinson’s work, an invitation that I could
not resist. In accepting it, I was acutely aware of my amateurism
in taking on the challenge. My single claim for any degree of
suitability to this task lies in my admiration and respect for this
artist whose glorious paintings bring joy, reassurance, beauty and
inspiration to my life.
I was introduced to the art of William Robinson in the 1980s, but
it wasn’t until his retrospective at the Queensland Art Gallery
in 2001 that I became aware of the breadth of his innovative
paintings, lithographs and other artworks in various media, and
its depth and significance in contemporary Australian art.
I wanted to see, to know, and to understand more. I noticed the way
that Robinson’s exhibitions were attracting huge followings here
in Brisbane and interstate. The great originality and the consistent
quality of his gorgeous, mysterious rainforest landscapes were
making deep impressions. I was exhilarated to have one lent by
the National Gallery of Australia for my office at Yarralumla. I
wanted the artist to see it there, and I will never forget standing
with him—this quiet, self-contained, and spiritual man—in
front of the work. Golden, early afternoon light fell across the
room as we both looked intently into the divine blues; cockatoos
squawking in grand tall gums behind window panes. His wife,
Shirley, was there too, and I felt the beginning of a friendship that
would be important for me.
Soon after that visit, I borrowed Evening landscape with pandanus
2006 for the entrance to Government House, which provided the
perfect introduction for visitors.
In recent years, my husband Michael and I have shared memorable
conversations with Bill and Shirley about drawing and painting,
from which I have learnt so much. Oh, the delight of the studio in
the heart of a charming Queensland timber home on the edge of
Brisbane rainforest.
I am intrigued by the paraphernalia of art—the tubes, the pastels,
the brushes. I marvel at the discipline, routine and integrity that
signify Bill’s days. At present, this is being devoted to vibrant still
life pictures—purple tibouchina, orange gerberas that make my
heart skip, and I must include the poinciana, with its perfect red.
It has been a privilege to be part of this project, to look across
an extraordinary body of work that is constantly evolving, and to
explore more than six decades marked by several distinct periods,
interspersed by discernible transitions. I wanted to include
favourites from each one. What a job it has been. I am indebted
by encouraging wise advisors, Vanessa Van Ooyen, Philip Bacon
and, of course, Bill and Shirley, whose wit, warmth, hospitality
and kindness come in spades.
‘Inspiring’ is the word used again and again to capture William
Robinson’s contribution as artist and teacher. I chose the title
Inspirations to celebrate Bill’s role in the halcyon years of a
generation of Queensland artists. I also wanted to express my high
regard for art teachers in our schools who inspire young artists to
believe in themselves.
It’s a daunting prospect having to write about all this in an art
catalogue. What follows are not the words of an art scholar; rather,
some observations and yarns, gathered with affectionate regard,
about a great artist.
