‘Kelly’ (blue) is a new deep bite, colour viscosity etching, published by the Sidney Nolan Trust in 2021. The print is from a small number of plates made by Nolan whilst working at Atelier 17 in 1958 with the influential English printmaker Stanley Hayter. The plate was originally proofed by Nolan himself but no edition was ever made. This new print was proofed by Prof. David Ferry RE, using Arthur Boyd’s etching press which is owned by the Trust. The edition was printed by Peter Bennett, Master Printmaker at Atelier JL in London, using Nolan’s original paper stock. The print carries the Sidney Nolan Trust blind stamp and is available in both orange and blue colourways, reflecting Australian and European influence.

The Artist

Sir Sidney Nolan

Born in Melbourne, Australia in 1917, Sidney Nolan grew up in a conservative, colonial society in the grips of a savage depression. Living on the streets and beaches around Melbourne, Nolan could have sunk without trace but instead became one of the most celebrated and influential modern artists of his generation. Nolan’s adoption of painting as a career may have been a direct result of his desire to break free from the physical and intellectual strictures of his upbringing.
