Who comes? is one of a series of works called ‘Days and Nights in August’, painted by Rupert Bunny between 1907 and 1911, which evoke a mood of intimacy and luxurious leisure; of perfume, poetry and distant music. The colours in Who comes? are few – white, black, brown, red, yellow – and they have been orchestrated so that small colour accents are played off against a basic theme. Warm sunlight, filtering through a boldly striped blind, colours the upper part of the picture, whereas in the half-light below the blind the flounced skirts shimmer translucently.Bunny’s chief model, posing for both figures in this painting, was his wife Jeanne. She was ‘a beautiful French woman and her husband delighted to paint her in the long, flounced and flowing dresses of the period. Once he said, with faint distaste: “When short skirts came in I no longer wanted to paint women”’.1The drapery has been painted in a way that has little relation to the bodies beneath. One reviewer in 1911 explained Bunny’s preference for loose drapery as a way of capturing or complementing the indefiniteness of nature, ‘leaving forms and outlines in a state of indecision and flux’.2 In contrast to the geometry of the striped blind, Bunny’s rendering of filmy cloth breaks the shapes so that the attention goes not to outlines and large areas but to surfaces and small accents. The effect is sensuous. Bunny was portraying a luxurious domesticity which, in the fashion terms of the day, was well represented by the tea-gown: ‘It gives a man a sort of luxurious feel of being an Oriental Pasha, as he lies in his chair, smoking the ever-present cigarette, to see himself surrounded by graceful houris clad in gauze and gorgeous draperies shimmering’.3Marcel Proust wrote at length on the same theme in A la recherche du temps perdu (1913–27) and, like Bunny, he lamented the passing of this excessively feminine style with the coming of the First World War.Mary Eagle41 Lucy Swanton, ‘Memoir of Rupert Bunny’, typescript, [Sydney]: Newcastle Region Art Gallery, 1968.2 Melbourne Argus, 24 July 1911, p.7.3 ‘Lamia’ in London Country Life, 28 September 1907.4 Mary Eagle, The Art of Rupert Bunny, Canberra: Australian National Gallery, 1991, p.64.Text © National Gallery of Australia, Canberra 2010From: Anne Gray (ed), Australian art in the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, 2002

Biografía del artista

Early Life and Training

Rupert Charles Wolston Bunny (1864 - 1947) was an Australian painter, born in St Kilda, Victoria. He received a traditional and academic education in the arts under Calderon and Laurens. This foundation would later serve him well in his successful career as an expatriate artist in fin-de-siècle Paris. His father, Brice Frederick Bunny, was a British Victorian county court judge, and his mother, Marie Hedwig Dorothea Wulsten, was German. He had an affluent upbringing and travelled extensively during his childhood, gaining fluency in English, French, and German—a skill that would prove invaluable for his artistic pursuits abroad. He enrolled at the University of Melbourne intending to study civil engineering but quickly abandoned this ambition to pursue painting, influenced by artists like McCubbin and Folingsby. His formative years were spent honing his craft under Campbell and Folingsby at the National Gallery School in Melbourne.

Achievements and Accolades

Bunny’s artistic talent was recognized early on; he garnered an honorable mention at the Salon of 1890 for “Tritons,” marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career. This recognition propelled him to greater heights, culminating in a bronze medal at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900 for “Burial of St Catherine of Alexandria.” The French state’s acquisition of thirteen of his paintings—including those now housed in the Musée du Luxembourg and regional collections—testament to his enduring reputation. He was celebrated as a "sumptuous colourist and splendidly erudite painter of ideal themes," embodying the spirit of Aestheticism and drawing inspiration from classical mythology.

Artistic Style and Themes

Bunny’s distinctive style revolved around portraying groups of female figures immersed in tranquil scenes—relaxing, dreaming, or engaging in activities like dressing and undressing by expanses of water. This approach reflected his profound understanding of symbolism and aesthetic principles. His canvases captured the essence of beauty and contemplation, aligning him with luminaries such as Puvis de Chavannes and Ford Madox Brown. Notable works included “Endormies,” “Sea Idyll,” and “Pastoral”—each demonstrating a masterful blend of technique and imaginative vision.

Notable Works

Bunny’s oeuvre encompassed numerous masterpieces that continue to captivate audiences today. Among these stand out: "Endormies," displayed at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; "Sea Idyll," also residing in the National Gallery of Victoria; and “Pastoral,” housed in the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. These paintings exemplify his artistic prowess and solidify his place as a pivotal figure in Australian art history. His works are readily available for viewing and purchase through platforms like OriginalUniqueArt.com, offering enthusiasts access to museum-quality reproductions.
