Sidney Nolan (1917-1992) is renowned for an oeuvre ranging from
views of Melbourne's seaside suburb St. Kilda to an iconic series
on outlaw hero Ned Kelly. Working in factories from age fourteen,
Nolan began his training spray painting signs on glass, which was
followed by a job cutting and painting displays for Fayrefield
Hats. Such employment offered him firsthand experience with
commercial synthetic paints developed during the 1920s and 1930s.
In 1939, having given up his job at Fayrefield in pursuit of an
artistic career, Nolan became obsessed with European abstract
paintings he saw reproduced in books and magazines. With little
regard for the longevity of his work, he began to exploit materials
such as boot polish, dyes, secondhand canvas, tissue paper, and old
photographs, in addition to commercial and household paints. He
continued to embrace new materials after moving to London in 1953.
Oil-based Ripolin enamel is known to have been Nolan's preferred
paint, but this fascinating study-certain to appeal to
conservators, conservation scientists, art historians, and general
readers with an interest in modern art-reveals his equally
innovative use of nitrocellulose, alkyds, and other diverse
materials.
