PAT HANLY Torso V
Est: $60,000 - $80,000
Pat Hanly Torso V 1977 enamel on board signed Hanly, dated 77 andinscribed TORSO V in brushpoint upper left 470 x 410mm PROVENANCE Private collection, Christchurch. Pat Hanly – Torso V Essay by DAVID MASKILL Hanly’s Torso series from the late 1970s burst onto the New Zealand painting scene and changed it forever. No brooding landscapes for him. Instead, Hanly chose the classic European subject of the female nude in all her voluptuousness. A homage to his wife Gil on one level, it is as much an expression of his admiration for Francis Bacon and even more so for the work of the American abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning, whose Woman series from the 1950s it evokes without descending into pastiche. But Hanly’s choice of such a traditional subject was in no way backward looking. He kept a hand-written journal from the early 60s until 1971, excerpts from which featured in an Auckland City Art Gallery exhibition in 2000. This offers rare insights into the personal thoughts and feelings of a New Zealand artist of this period in a strikingly direct way. Of his human subject works, Hanly writes in 1964, “Non individuals leaving no sign or mark… People are too new here and nature absorbs them.” Written over a decade before the Torso series, we sense an anxiety about his figurative works that by 1977 has clearly been put to rest. While it is certainly an exaggeration that Hanly single-handedly launched New Zealand painting out of its “brown and green period” into the light of brilliant high-key colour, there is an element of truth to the claim. No New Zealand painter before him had embraced painterly expressionism and American action-painting with quite the same degree of sheer joy—an emotion not often associated with pÄkehÄ high culture of the earlier McCahon/Baxter/Fairburn era. Tellingly, one of Hanly’s Torso paintings was chosen to replace a McCahon as the cover image of Gordon H. Brown and Hamish Keith’s revised edition of An Introduction to New Zealand Painting 1839–1980, published in 1982. Hanly was a prankster and had no time for art that he didn’t like. He famously graffitied the work of then expatriate conceptual artist, Billy Apple, in a privately-staged exhibition in 1982 in the home of Francis Pound and Sue Crockford, believing it to be over controlled and lacking in passion. Hanly was forever the fiery one, committed to the notion that painting was far from a dead-end medium. In this respect, he was out of step with international trends in conceptual, post-object and performance art. Be that as it may, he deserves to be remembered for his exuberant and passionate paintings—replete with his own uniquely local joie de vivre. As he wrote in his journal in 1969, “Art is love. Love is everything.” 1 The Journal of Pat Hanly, exhibition brochure with excerpts from Hanly’s journal selected by Ron Brownson, Auckland Art Gallery Toi o TÄmaki, 2000, np. 2 Ibid.

He subsequently qualified as a lawyer, but never practiced and in 1956 he formed the Hungarian Department of the United Nations Association in England to assist refugees. Best known as a patron of modern dance, in the 1950s he sponsored the Martha Graham Dance Company and persuaded them to perform in the UK. In 1967 he founded the London Contemporary Dance Theatre and the Contemporary Dance Trust and in 1969 based the Trust in a London complex of buildings known as The Place, which has served as a centre for British contemporary dance ever since.

Pat Hanly Pacific Hope Vessel 1984 oil on board signed Hanly and dated 84 in brushpoint lower right; signed HANLY, dated 84. and inscribed "PACIFIC HOPE VESSEL." in ink verso 840 x 1190mm PROVENANCE Private collection, Auckland. EXHIBITIONS The Fire This Time, Fisher Gallery, Auckland; 7 June - 5 July 1987. Pat Hanly - Pacific Hope Vessel Essay by NEIL TALBOT The mid 1980s were a period of significant political, social and economic change in New Zealand. One issue that grew to enjoy a hitherto unprecedented level of consensus was our anti-nuclear stance. Whereas the preceding years had been characterised by various forms of civil protest on this and other contentious issues, the declaration of the country as nuclear free in 1987 became a matter of national pride and collective agreement after a decade of social division. Galvanised perhaps by the French foreign intelligence services' bombing of the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior and the death of crew member Fernando Pereira on 10 July 10 1985, the notion of the South Pacific 'David' standing firm against the 'Goliath' of the Western nuclear powers took popular hold. Such a level of national unity marked a shift from the fraught response earlier to visits of military vessels such as HMS Invincible or Regent or the USS Pintato, Queenfish, Texas or Truxton. A pacifist, Pat Hanly was active in the Peace Movement for many years, including as a founding member of VAANA (Visual Artists Against Nuclear Arms). Coinciding with this was his revisiting of his first major series, the Fire works produced in London in 1959 and 1960. The Fire This Time series was executed between 1984 and 1986, and can be seen as having a direct and polemical message and intent. This is especially true of those works undertaken around the time of the bombing at Auckland's Marsden Wharf. Pacific Hope Vessel is one of these charged paintings, dated a year before the Rainbow Warrior bombing. While it is an overtly political painting and a call to action, it is important to register that the fundamental attitude Hanly promotes is that of hope, as stated so plainly in the title. The clear white-sailed yacht pushes forward into a fiery conflagration. The painting is passionate, red, full of gusto and bold colour; the statement clear and concise. Yet, as the title reiterates, there is also a profound sense of the possibility of positive outcomes founded on hope: 'David' may vanquish 'Goliath'; hope may quench the fire. To this end, it is a remarkably optimistic painting while still responding to a real and terrible threat. "Hanly believed in the capacity of art to be a provocation as well as an inspiration; the role of the artist, here and elsewhere, was to call the population to attention and to - in the parlance of the time - 'raise consciousness'."¹ In a very real way, this optimism in the face of the most unimaginable horror is reflective of the climate of unity, defiance and hope that came to characterise the national psyche with respect to the nuclear-free issue. As Hanly commented to dealer Rodney Kirk Smith: "We are looking toward a Pacific free of nuclear fire, the holocaust - which was what the first Fire series was really about - just that."² The joyous declaration of Hanly's VAANA mural "No nuclear fire for Amber" on the Karangahape Road reservoir is treated more allegorically in this painting, but the underpinning and defining quality of hope is similarly assured. 1 Gregory O'Brien, Pat Hanly, (Auckland: Ron Sang Publications 2012), 122. 2 "The Barry Lett Gallery and RKS Art: Two Decades: A Conversation with Pat Hanly," Art New Zealand 35 (Winter 1985), 50-53; 51.
