Clifton Pugh Australia 1924 - 1990 Two Owls 1986 colour etching A/P · 39.5 x 62.0 cm Master Printer: Max Miller The Dunmoochin Foundation Art Collection held at La Trobe University frottage Exercise The word frottage comes from the French word, Frotter which translates ‘to rub.’ Education Kit Surrealist artist Max Ernst developed this technique by taking a pencil and paper and rubbing it over a textured surface. Ernst was inspired by a wooden floor which was marked heavily after years of scrubbing. Collect some leaves, this could be from your back yard, outside the gallery or discovered on the way to school. Look for interesting texture and pattern. Using crayons place the leaves vein side up and your paper on top. Selecting different colours make a rubbing of the different varieties of leaves you have collected. How are found objects from nature used by other artists such as Andy Goldsworthy? Exploring and Responding Art Trail There are a number of works within the exhibition where the artist has included found elements from nature. His 1986 work Two Owls is one, can you see how thin branches and leaves make up the background? In another he uses feathers to represent wings… can you find this work and the example of another where the artist incorporates found elements? Answer: Icarus and Sturt Rose in the Bungle Bungles, Donkey Orchids, Leda and the Emu [also known as Young Leda I and Young Leda II, diptych], Leda and the Swan (1982), Metamorphosis – The Beginning, Leda and the Emu (1987).
