Brett Whiteley, In and out of room, c.1975
Est: $60,000 - $80,000
Brett Whiteley (1939 - 1992) In and out of room, c.1975 pencil on card 103.0 x 77.0 cm signed and inscribed with title lower right: brett whiteley “in and out / of room” stamped lower left with artist’s monogram bears inscription verso: No. 9 PROVENANCE Holdsworth Galleries, Sydney Private collection, Sydney Private collection, Sydney, a gift from the above c.2005 LITERATURE This work will be included in the addendum to Sutherland, K., Brett Whiteley: Catalogue Raisonné, Schwartz Publishing, Melbourne, 2020, provisional cat. 104.75 ESSAY More than a simple line drawing, In and out of room, c.1975 is an unadulterated expression of the hermetic creative sanctuary that Brett Whiteley found at his home in Sydney’s Lavender Bay. In early 1974, Whiteley and his wife, Wendy, purchased the entire residence on Walker Street, having rented the upstairs apartment since their sudden return from Fiji in November of 1969. Biographer Ashleigh Wilson writes of this milestone: ‘Brett and Wendy turned the house inside out. They cleared obstacles to the sun and the harbour, opened out the main living area, created access between levels, extended the balcony, and installed arches between the rooms.’1 These efforts in curating his immediate environment coincided with the emergence of Whiteley’s mature phase as an artist, and the picturesque setting of the Lavender Bay living room provided the basis of his most acclaimed and lyrical paintings: the Matissean interiors of the 1970s: Henri’s armchair, 1974 – 75, Interior with time past, 1976; My armchair, 1976, and the Archibald Prize-winning, Self-portrait in the studio, 1976. Rather than highlighting the expansive views of the harbour that the windows provided, In and out of room is a quiet meditation on interior space. It evidences Whiteley’s move into three-dimensionality throughout the 1970s, and the compressed perspective of the image builds on the pictorial devices employed by the artist in the Bathroom and Christie paintings in his London apartment in the early 1960s. As the title would suggest, this drawing presents a visual journey around the artist’s inner sanctum, from a high vantage point and through an open window frame outlined in the bottom left hand corner. Whiteley was an accomplished draughtsman, a facet of his artistic practice he honed throughout this decade. The wrap-around perspective effectively modulates the volumetric space to fit on a small picture plane, crowding its key identifying features into one unified scene below an arched frame. In and out of room joins a flurry of other line drawings of this space created between 1974 – 77, most bearing titles using variations of ‘Interior, Lavender Bay’. These works, featuring an array of Whiteley’s treasured possessions, artworks and occasionally even sitters such as Wendy or domestic pets, effectively become self-portraits in absentia. Whiteley’s crisp linework in In and out of room left little room for revision. The scene was quickly recorded, capturing the tensions between the vertical architectural elements of the room, and the organic curves of the objects held within its confines. These range from emblems of domesticity such as an open book, rotary telephone, bunch of flowers in a vase and an electric heater, to Whiteley’s famous wicker armchair dwarfed in the empty room, and a selection of his own artworks described by Wendy as ‘bits of sculpture which were there at the time.’2 The rounded forms of the chair, the sculptures and the unruly, leafy canopy of the palms soften an otherwise austere architectural interior. The palms, we know from related works, to be an artwork of Whiteley’s in papier mâché painted electric blue. The three large figurative sculptures are carved mangrove wood forms each titled Her, made by Whiteley between 1975 – 76. Collectively titled Four studies of her, these sensual wooden forms appear in the drawing as stand-ins for his absent muse. Roughly hewn, the sculptures provide an organic counterpoint to the urbane sophistication of the Whiteleys’ living room with its views across Sydney harbour. 1.

The purpose of drawing is to make freshness permanent – to trigger astonishment. Out of the billions of moments of futility a few seconds of rightness are immutably held together.’1 ‘He was quick, eloquent and charged with energy. Drawing for him was almost like big game hunting. He would put on a record and play it as loud as possible, and the stage was set.’2 After being busted for drugs in Fiji in November 1969, Brett Whiteley, his wife Wendy and young daughter Arkie returned to Sydney, initially unsure about whether they would stay. However, a major deciding factor in their eventual ‘settling down’ was the house they found in Lavender Bay through their friend, architect Roland Schlicht, who had been in London at the same time as the Whiteleys and was living with his family on the house’s upper floor.3 With its sprawling spaces and stellar view of Sydney Harbour, the Lavender Bay house was to provide both refuge and creative inspiration for Whiteley throughout the next decade, serving as a constant and clearly recognisable presence in the harbour views, interiors and still lifes that he created during this highly productive time. Indeed, curator Barry Pearce writes of this period as ‘a real rebonding with Australia; a centring, as it were, of [Whiteley’s] universe.’4 As Wendy Whiteley later recalled: ‘In a sense Lavender Bay was Brett’s return to paradise, having come from a very anxious situation – and it is paradise. He said some quite tender things about it at the time, like ‘I’m home again at last’. And yet that was a really dark period because we started destroying it by being locked into a chemical paradise which had its moment in hell.’5 The smudged outlines of Wendy’s head and face, and her relaxed pose in Wendy on cushions, 1976, depict the kind of drug-infused state that the pair increasingly found themselves in during their early experimentation with heroin.6 Yet Whiteley’s mastery of the medium enables him to capture the relaxed intimacy of this moment with both warmth and tenderness, as Wendy, his muse, reclines odalisque-like; the movement of her body echoed by the series of lines and curved arches that appear like ghosts across her form. ‘Whiteley said it was possible to draw with the hand, the wrist, the elbow, the arm and shoulder’, states Lou Klepac7, and we can feel this sense of pace and vitality – almost an urgency – in the work’s assured linework and complex picturing of space. Whiteley builds the domestic and creative environment he knows so well with marks of breathtaking economy and fluidity, filling the room’s expansive whitewashed spaces with his paintings and sculptures, the family’s rugs, and the objects that he and Wendy collected on their travels. For Whiteley, drawing was as important as painting. It served as an immediate route from looking to making for him, and similarly enabled the most direct expression of his thoughts and perceptions: ‘Some drawings are made in order for me to see something, some are made in order for me to show off. The best of my drawing, I feel, has been made either in acute self-consciousness or in complete unconsciousness – with no middle-ground.’8 While the Lavender Bay interiors serve on one level as an ode to Matisse, and particularly the artist’s The Red Studio, 1911, which Whiteley loved9, in Wendy on cushions Whiteley is present in the tableau in a way that Matisse never is – making it clear, as he enters the composition (via the blank sheet of paper bulldog-clipped to his drawing surface), that he is both observer and subject. This sense that Whiteley saw the work, in its exploration of his identity and the creative process, as a form of self-portraiture, is further emphasised by the presence of the artist’s painting Interior with Time Past, 1976 (National Gallery of Australia), which won the Art Gallery of NSW’s coveted Sir John Sulman Prize in the year this drawing was made. During this period of extraordinary good fortune – Whiteley was also awarded the 1976 Archibald Prize for his painting Self Portrait in the Studio, 1976 – the artist seems to be questioning the nature of success, characteristically creating a small note of tension, or foreboding, in this sumptuous, languid scene. 1.
