James Cant (1911 - 1983) - (Studio Interior)
Est: $500 - $700
James Cant (1911 - 1983) - (Studio Interior) James Montgomery Cant studied art at Antonio Dattilo-Rubbo’s Saturday morning class, and later at East Sydney Technical College and Julian Ashton’s Sydney Art School. In 1934 he left for London where the modernist artist Roi de Maistre, who had been an early influence in Sydney, introduced him to forward-looking art, artists and galleries. In 1935-39 Cant produced the most adventurous art of his career. He experimented with the late cubist style of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso and the surrealism of Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte. His most advanced works, however, were his `Found Objects’ and `Constructed Objects’, sculptures and assemblages that he exhibited in London in 1937 and 1938. These were the most avant-garde works of any Australian artist in the first half of the twentieth century. In 1937 Cant exhibited with de Chirico, Max Ernst and Paul Klee. He travelled to France and Spain and met many of the artists whom he admired including Braque, Picasso, Magritte and Joan Mirò. Cant returned to Sydney in 1939 and next year held a one-man show at the Macquarie Galleries. Enlisting on 9 May 1941 in the Citizen Military Forces, he performed camouflage duties with the Royal Australian Engineers being discharged on 18 May 1944. In later life he was to declare his religion as surrealist and helped to form the Studio of Realist Art in 1945. Employed by the Australian Museum as a display adviser, Cant also painted arid Australian landscapes and works influenced by Aboriginal art and he produced reconstructions of Oenpelli rock art. In 1949 the Cants accompanied a display of these paintings to London. Remaining there for five years. Back in Australia in 1955, the Cants settled permanently in Adelaide He died 1982. The Art Gallery of South Australia staged a retrospective exhibition of his art in 1984 and a joint exhibition of his art and that of Dora Chapman in 1995. His work is represented in the National Gallery of Australia and all mainland State galleries.James Cant (1911 - 1983) - (Studio Interior) James Montgomery Cant studied art at Antonio Dattilo-Rubbo’s Saturday morning class, and later at East Sydney Technical College and Julian Ashton’s Sydney Art School.
