In ‘Sun Face’, Charles Blackman draws a face emerging from the sun. It is an evocative and strangely elegant work, full of character and wit – a broad face meets the broad Australian sun. It also recalls Sidney Nolan's famous 'Moon Boy', a pivotal shift in Australian art from pure figuration to abstraction. Here, moon gives way to sun. 

For collectors of modern art and Blackman, ‘Sun Face’ – from Blackman’s personal archives – is a thrilling find.
