Charles Blackman was an Australian painter whose work of the 1950s made him a central figure in Melbourne’s art scene. Largely self-taught, he worked as an illustrator and attended night classes before rising to prominence with the Schoolgirl and Alice in Wonderland series—dreamlike images marked by mystery and unsettling undertones. These series established his critical reputation and brought him into contact with influential collectors and critics such as John Reed. A member of the Antipodeans, the group that in 1959 signed the Antipodean Manifesto in opposition to the dominance of abstract expressionism, Blackman lived and worked alongside other important figures in Australian art and took an active part in the aesthetic debates of the time. He received grants and awards that funded periods abroad, including stays in London and Paris, which were significant sources of inspiration for his work. His personal life—marriages, children, and struggles with alcoholism—affected his career and the management of his estate; a trust handled the sale of works to cover expenses. Officially honored as an OBE in 1977, his legacy endures in his influence on later generations and in works preserved in Australian museums and exhibitions.
