Unbeknown to me, Goldfields, 1945, had been in Melbourne in an exhibition at Deutscher Fine Art in August 1996, and escaped my attention for selection for the exhibition 2. Goldfields, 1945, should have been included in the exhibition, as it has all the hallmarks of studies for the Kelly series such as Kelly and Scanlon, 1945, (Nolan Gallery) which depicts Scanlon shooting at Kelly behind a dead tree with scrappy branches surrounded by flowers in a landscape and Steve Hart, 1945, (Nolan Gallery) which also uses the same strong vertical device (a tree or telegraph pole?) to position Hart dressed as a girl riding side-saddle at the Greta Races on a dirt field flecked with flowers
