45 x 57.5 cm
no.7828
Provenance:
The Estate of Sir Sidney Nolan
Private collection Geneva
Exhibited:
Sidney Nolan, Joseph Brown Gallery, Melbourne,
25 July - 7 August, 1979, no.16.
Literature:
Sidney Nolan, Joseph Brown Gallery, Melbourne,
25 July - 7 August, 1979 (illustrated, plate 16).
Nolan began painting his tent series in the late 1930s, in a series of small paintings and drawings related closely to the poetry of William Blake. After seeing this work, choreographer Serge Lifar commissioned Nolan to design the sets and costumes for the Ballet Russes production of Icare in Melbourne in 1940. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Miro, Picasso and Klee, these early ‘abstract’ works symbolise a type of captivity,1 reflected in Nolan’s depiction of Icarus’ escape from the tent-like structures. The abstracted forms in this early tent painting, reflect the grids and curves both of his designs for Icare and also the later Luna Park paintings. As Nicholas Usherwood explains, “the repeated use of the tent image makes this one of the first such consciously developed series in what was to become a consistent method of developing his work through the rest of his life”.2

The Performance 1978
oil on canvas

Signed, titled, and dated Sydney 1978 on reverse
Provenance: Corporate Collection, Sydney
no.10497
Referring to the related work, The Performance 1980, Nadine Amadio explains that as yet "Coburn had not yet actually designed for the theatre [he would later design sets for, among other companies, the Western Australian Ballet], but this joyous work, full of clownish smiles and juggling shapes has the fun and glitter of the circus. There is a real humour and playfulness in this work some what reminiscent of Joan Miro in its feeling of nature at play." The Performance 1987 shows Coburn's innate ability to orchestrate his works in a way that brings an extraordinary vitality to his paintings."

Eubena has painted some of her country south west of Balgo, along the Canning Stock Route. The circle to the right of the painting represents Kunawarritji (Well 33) and is the place where Eubena would often hunt. The circle to left is a small tjurrnu and a place where women dance. The strong lines in the painting depict the tali (sandhills) that dominate this country.
