The vendor's father, Derick Custance, was a great friend of Blackburn, who also made a film about the artist in 1963 called ''Images''. Many of the lots here were purchased directly from Blackburn or received as gifts. Born in Huddersfield in 1939, David Blackburn showed an aptitude for art from a young age. To the surprise of his teachers he left Huddersfield Grammar School aged 16 to study at the local art school as a textile artist, before receiving a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in 1959. Here he discovered his vocation for painting and the preferred medium of pastel influenced by his friend Gerhard Frankl. After graduation, he taught at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He found the outback so antithetical to European landscape that it completely freed him from traditional concepts of the genre. Of it's influence he stated: ''I think it's Paradise. At first…it was difficult to come to terms with…I couldn't understand how one could draw where there was no apparent foreground, middle distance and background - only space.'' The American landscape similarly had an effect on his work when, in 1981, he began a lectureship at Georgetown University. A great supporter of David's works Sir Kenneth Clark wrote: ''I don't know an artist to whom I can compare him. [Blackburn] is not a landscape painter, not an abstractionist in the ordinary sense… He is a painter of metamorphosis.''
