Charles Blackman: Alice in Wonderland

An Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Australia

10 June～12 August 2007

Venue (地点) : The Ian Potter Centre

Admission: Free entry

　　Charles Blackman is famous for his beautiful paintings of dreams. In 1956, he heard for the first time Lewis Carroll's extraordinary tale of Alice in Wonderland---the story of a Victorian girl who falls down a rabbit hole, meets a lot of funny characters and experiences all kinds of things. At that time, Blackman's wife was suffering from progressive blindness. The story of Alice moving through the strange situations, often disheartened (使气馁) by various events, was similar to his wife's experiences. It also reflected so much of his own life. All this contributed to the completion of the Alice in Wonderland paintings.
