Martin Sharp
Oz
In late 1963 or early 1964, Martin met Richard Neville, editor of the University of NSW student magazine Tharunka, and Richard Walsh, editor of Sydney University counterpart Honi Soit. Both wanted to publish their own "magazine of dissent" and asked Sharp and Shead to become contributors. Magazine called Oz. From 1963 to 1965 Martin was its art director and a major.
Sydney Oz hit the streets on April Fool's Day 1963. His irreverent attitude was in the tradition of student newspapers, but satire and topical coverage of local and national people developed a national profile, and did a target for "the establishment, and soon a prominent victim of so-called" Censorship Wars. "
Martin made his first solo exhibition Clune Galleries in Sydney, Australia in 1965. Art by Mart "almost sold out on the first night. One of the paintings exhibited also appears in Blunderball Shead James Bond fake, made earlier this year.
During the life of Australian Sharp Oz, Neville and Walsh were charged on two occasions printing obscene publication. The first trial was relatively minor and should have been a non-event, but were advised wrong and pleaded guilty, which resulted in convictions being recording. The result, when they were charged with obscenity a second time, his previous convictions meant that the new charges were considerably more serious.
The accusations focused on two issues in the first editions of Oz – was an obscene Sharp poem "The glow of the Word around the arms", which satirised the habit gatecrashing contemporary youth parties and the subject was offending others the famous photo (used on the cover of Oz # 6), which represents Neville and two friends pretending to urinate Tom Bass in a wall sculpture fountain, set into the wall of the new P & O office in Sydney, which was recently inaugurated by Prime Minister Robert Menzies.
Sharp, Neville and Walsh were tried, convicted and sentenced to prison. Their convictions caused a public outcry and was subsequently acquitted on appeal, but called "Oz Three" realized that there was little future fighting such strong opposition.
London
In 1966 Martin published a selection animated cartoons in the book of Martin Sharp. "Swinging London", was a mecca for young artists, writers and musicians, and after testing Oz, Sharp and Neville need little encouragement to leave Australia. Took a trip overland through Asia, the company fired in Kathmandu and takes its own way to London.
On arrival, Sharp stayed for a short time with Neville's sister, writer Jill Neville in Knightsbridge. It was at this time when it was introduced to a musician in the famous London nightclub, the Speakeasy. During the evening Sharp said the musician on a poem he had written recently, the musician, in turn, said Martin I was looking for a letter to a new music he had written. Sharp kindly wrote the poem and your address on a napkin and handed it to his new friend.
Musician was again acclaimed guitarist Eric Clapton. The song that resulted from the meeting, "Tales of Brave Ulysses", was recorded as the B side of success Cream "Strange Brew" and included in the second Cream album Disraeli Gears. His friendship with Clapton led the commission to design the famous 'Dayglo' collage psychedelic cover of that album, including pictures painted by the friend of Robert Whitaker Sharp Sharp Australia who knew and whose study was in the same Sharp building where he lived.
The following year, Sharp designed the spectacular sleeve down to the third album by Cream, the double album Wheels of Fire set (1968), which won the New York Art Directors Award for Best Album Design in 1969. He also designed the cover of the debut LP of London underground legends Mighty Baby (1969).
The pheasantry

Not long after his meeting with Clapton, Martin moved to The pheasantry to 152 Kings Road, Chelsea, an historic Georgian building. As its name suggests, the site was originally used to raise pheasants for the royal household. In the early 1900s was the home of Eleanor Thornton, the favorite model of the artist and sculptor Charles Sykes. Thornton is believed to have been the model for Sykes' most famous work, his Rolls Royce Spirit of Ecstasy mascot.
In the 1920s and 1930s is the studio of renowned dance teacher Astafieva Serafina, who coached several of the Diaghilev's Ballets Russes dancers and prima ballerinas who taught Alicia Markova and Margot Fonteyn. At the time Sharp installed there, He was a known pheasantry "colony of artists, "their rooms rented as residential homes and study. The basement housed a nightclub that operated in the 1970s. pheasantry Nightclub was the scene of concerts in the UK in early Lou Reed, Queen and Hawkwind, among others, and was where the singer Yvonne Elliman was discovered by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, who takes his role in recording the original soundtrack of Jesus Christ Superstar. The pheasantry currently houses apartments, shops and a pizza restaurant, which has Mrs. preserved Astafieva bar mirrors and practice as a feature on the first floor.
Sharp notable share this address with some notables, including Eric Clapton (who moved to not long after Sharp did), Germaine Greer, filmmaker Philippe Mora, artist Tim Whidborne, prominent London "identity" David Litvinoff (later a consultant in the production of Nicolas Roeg's Performance), writer Anthony Haden-Guest (author of The Last Party: Studio 54, Disco, and the culture of night) and friend Robert Martin Whitaker, photographer of choice for many major rock bands on the scene, like The Beatles. Whitaker was already notorious / famous for the controversial "Butcher" photo used in the original cover of the Beatles album Yesterday 'and today.
Many years later, Sharp recalled the history his meeting with Clapton:
"I visited the Speakeasy club in London one night (1967). I saw a girl I met Charlotte, who sat at a table with two young did not know. Solitude asked if I could join them and made me welcome. I remember there was a discussion about a controversial article that had appeared idealism about the assassination of President Kennedy. I gathered that the young men were musicians and I had just written a poem that I thought made a good song, I mentioned this fact, and one of the musicians said he had written some music. In the grand tradition of show business who wrote the letter on a napkin paper and gave them my address. I shared a studio off the Kings Road in Chelsea with photographer Bob Whitaker, at the time. I was pleasantly surprised when the musician turned out to be Eric Clapton, came to study with a 45 rpm record with "Strange Brew" on side A and my song "Tales of Brave Ulysses" in B face. " Shortly after I moved to a nearby studio in "The pheasantry", Kings Road, Chelsea, and need someone to share with I asked my new friend if I wanted to share space and experience. Chelsea was a great place to live and Eric agreed. (David Litvinoff, a well known and extraordinary character in music and the art world had found the study.) It was a great place to work and live. Charlotte eventually moved in with Eric. Later we were joined by my girlfriend Eija, and a young friend from Melbourne, painter and filmmaker Philippe Mora, and his girlfriend, Freya. David worked on the study floor Litvinoff Whidbornes Tim '… Anthony Haden-Guest had a flat there … Germaine Greer was writing "The Female Eunuch" in a room there … There are photography studios … was very special and creative building … was called "The pheasantry" because in the old days was the land used for rearing pheasants for the table of the king. "Eric asked me to design the cover of "Disraeli Gears." I loved recording the cover and happy to do it. I instructed my fellow former study, Bob Whitaker, to take some pictures that were used in a collage on the back. I think the picture used on the cover was a publicity shot of me Eric. I was using fluorescent paints at the moment. Was height of psychedelia. "Some of the ingredients of the roof are made up of Victorian decorative engravings. Was made in black and white first and then painted with colors fluorescent. I tried to capture the vibrancy warm joy of the songs from Cream. He later went on to design the cover of "Wheels Of Fire" by Cream and Ginger Baker's "Air Force", a band called Mighty Baby … freefall through featherless Jeannie Lewis Flight " and some of my own versions of Tiny Tim, "Chameleon", "Keep my problems to myself," and "The World Non-Stop Singing Record." In the basement of The pheasantry was a club of the same name and often one's sleep was disturbed by the R & B bass notes … I was reacting well to listen a lot of old songs that had been released again. Al Jolson, Al Bowly … dance bands of the war years and earlier. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, and "Hutch" (Leslie Hutchinson). Eric had seen Tiny Tim perform at the stage in New York and I loved meeting the old songs that encouraged me to go see Thumbelina at its first performance in London at the Royal Albert Hall. I never heard before Small and totally surprised me by his extraordinary personality, cheerful and domain all about the whole language of popular song. I felt that I would love to work with him, but he thought he was destined to the heights of stardom. I never felt the opportunity arise. Over twenty years later, I write this with the letterhead of the film, "Street of Dreams" I have been doing in Thumbelina the past 12 years, thinking of the hundreds of songs and conversations I recorded with him for years. That was my entry into the world of popular song. "The meeting of musician and artist directly, without intermediaries is, and always has been and will be a fruitful one. Such was the goodwill that existed in London during the late the years '60 's that a painter from Australia could meet a great musician in England and informally give you some lyrics that would become a song, a friendship, a career with Tiny Tim, and a cover for registration. "
Freed from the constraints of thanks from nine to five areas of work to a heritage Spot an aunt, Sharp was in the center of the counter-cultural life of London and the underground scene and quickly became one of its leading lights. When Richard Neville came to London in September, and he and Sharp joined together established Felix Dennis and London Oz, soon proved even more controversial than its Headquartered in Australia. Sharp became its art director and chief designer.
This period in London, and his work brought him international fame Oz. In addition to his work Oz and the famous album covers for cream, made famous posters musiciansob Dylan, Donovan and his classic 'explosion' of Jimi Hendrix poster, based on a photo of Linda McCartney. These and other works as the poster of the "legalize marijuana" rally graphic works are masterful of the era and the originals are highly prized collectors' items.
Solo projects
In 1969, Sharp held his second solo exhibition at the Sigi Krauss Gallery. Entitled "Martin Sharp and Silver Scissors "which is based on famous works of art collages. He returned to Australia after years, taking up residence in the old Galleries Clune. Thelma Clune, the director, had decided to sell the building, but there was no hurry to sell, and under the watchful eye of the mutual friend "Charlie Brown, Sharp introduced his first exhibition after his return.
This was followed by The Incredible Shrinking Exhibition, which included photographs of the first sample again exhibited small mirror frames, as gemstones. These two exhibitions laid the foundations for the famous Yellow House project in 1970-71. The house became a place unique multimedia, art environment in which each room was a work of art. Yellow House was open 24 hours a day and had thousands of visitors from 1971 and 1973, when it closed.
Returning to London in 1972, Martin continued his interest in the idea of appropriation. He created the "Book of Art", another production miniature, about 5 "x 6" in size and the incorporation of 36 colored collages cut from the pages of glossy art books, which meets work in a single image from Magritte and Van Gogh, Matisse and Magritte, Botticelli and Picasso with occasional layers of Van Gogh in Van Gogh, Botticelli, Van Gogh, Vermeer or Vermeer.
"Never I have been shy about cutting things if I had a good idea. For me it was worth the price of a book to the idea expressed by the interconnection of different worlds. I could put a figure in a landscape of Gauguin, Van Gogh, the work of composition, and also say something about your relationship. "
Distributed in the United Kingdom, France and Italy in 1972, "Artbook" was released in Australia in 1973 to coincide with Sharp's return to Australia and his "Art Exhibition" in Bonython Gallery, Sydney. The previous images were presented as collage paintings completed, return them to their original media. Larger audience participation, a work, Self Portrait was simply a mirror in an ornate gold frame, while other work was more iconicised clothing, cheap reproduction of the Mona Lisa in an ornate gold frame alike, titled cloth.
In the mid-seventies, Martin was probably best known in Australia for his work with the Nimrod Theatre, for whom he produced his famous series of posters as well as the design of many sets, costumes and scenery pieces. His famous posters Nimrod (currently estimated collector's items) are its iconic poster girl Mo works, The Venetian Twins, and Kold Komfort Kaffee. Sharp to provide the "Mo" face became the symbol the Nimrod Theatre, and one of his most famous images. In this period he also designed the cover of the classic debut album Jeannie Lewis free fall through of featherless Flight (1974).
Martin has designed at least two posters of Australia's premier contemporary circus, Circus Oz including the iconic "world famous design / 'Non-Stop Energy.
Later interests
For most of the 1970s and beyond, the work of Sharp and life was dominated by two main interestsydney Luna Park (located across the water from Sharp's home in Bellevue Hill) – and Tiny Tim.
Luna Park
Luna Park was a bittersweet experience. Sharp was hired as a designer and artist to oversee the restoration of Luna Park, including a commission to renew the huge smiling face entry. This commission for a long time all the ingredients of Pop Artostalgia, huge sculptures, powerful images, wonderful paintings by Arthur Barton, along with colors lightsnd was brilliant and totally inadequate for the deep grounding Sharp in this era of Australian art graphics (eg Fatty Finn).
In 1978, he and fellow artist / designer Richard Liney (who had participated in the reconstruction of Luna Park, also an avid collector of memorabilia) combined lent his collection of hundreds of circus fair, Luna Park and SideShow devices to the Art Gallery of NSW to coincide with the Festival of Sydney.
Just one year after a fire at Luna Park ghost train tragically claimed seven lives and destroyed any possibility of renewal of the restored Park. Sharp's work in the face was ruined, and the theme park "Just for Fun" lost its meaning.
Like many others, firmly believes Sharp that the fire was a deliberate act of terrorism aimed at destroying the park and the establishment of alternative interests. Like the "disappearance" of anti-development Juanita Nielsen in 1975, the reason for the arson was not difficult to discern. Luna Park unique location on the north coast of the port, near the north-west tower Sydney Harbour Bridge, made a prize of inestimable value to developers.
Along with several other artists, friends and supporters sympathetic Sharp was instrumental in the formation of the Friends of Luna Park, in an attempt to pressure the State Government and Sydney reminded of what could be lost if the park had lost. Sharp Painting Snow Job is a painful reminder of his feelings on this matter, and had it not been for the efforts of Sharp and his friends, Sydney may have lost a significant part of their character.
Tiny Tim
In addition to Van Gogh, Tiny Tim was one of the strongest inspirations Sharp since 1970.
"Appropriation of the song by Tim is very much like my appropriation of images. We're both collagists taking elements of different eras and mix to discover new relationships. "
Sharp appreciation of Tiny Tim was manifested in many ways, including record production, costume design. He created a painting of five meters now hanging in the Macquarie University, painted during the mid-seventies with Tim Lewis. His Tiny Tim poster Opera House is a concert of his most memorable images and collection.
Her dear little Tim Street Of Dreams film project described in the "Storyboard". He worked for more than a decade in this film and almost forced him to sell his house to finance it. However, the story goes that on the eve of the sale, Sharp received a surprise check in the mailto was a significant royalties for his lyrics Tales Of Brave Ulysses, which enabled him to work on the film without having to sell your home.
Another recurring element in the work of Martin is the now famous "Eternity" of the firm. The origin of this picture was the remarkable story of Sydney man Arthur Stace, also known as "Mr Eternity. "Stace was an illiterate soldier first, petty criminal and alcoholic who became a devout convert to Christianity in 1930. For years after his conversion until his death in 1967, Stace walked through the streets of Sydney at night writing the word "Eternity" and the trails on the walls with their distinctive point copper. For years, Stace identity remained unknown until it was finally revealed in a newspaper article in 1956. Sharp has perpetuated and celebrated the work Stace and message and the image of Eternity 'has appeared in many works, including a poster celebrating the Haymarket area of Sydney, and a large canvas which first appeared in the Oxford Street window of a shop in Sydney in 1990. During the millennium celebrations in 2000, the Sydney Harbour Bridge was lit up with the word "Eternity" in tribute to the legacy of Arthur Stace popularized by Martin Sharp.
Sharp's work has been celebrated in numerous exhibitions including a retrospective special Yellow House, the Art Gallery of NSW.
