A propos de cet article

JOLLIFFE'S OUTBACK CARTOONS AND AUSTRALIANA NUMBER 117, written and illustrated by Eric Jolliffe, softcover, 2-staple inding, 1984. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text block and illustrations are in fine condition with no dog-ears, tears, or marks. There is no bookplate nor signature of a prior owner. This is not a library book nor a remainder. The photo-illustrated wraps are in good condition (some creases and spots). 10 ¾ x 8 ¼, 75 pages, 5 ounces XX Eric Ernest Jolliffe (31 January 1907 – 16 November 2001) was an Australian cartoonist and illustrator. Born in Portsmouth, England, he was the youngest boy in a family of twelve children. The family migrated to Perth, Western Australia in 1911 before moving to Sydney after six months, where they settled in Balmain. Joliffe left school at the age of fifteen, where he spent the next six years in the country New South Wales and Queensland, working as a boundary rider, rabbit trapper and in shearing sheds. A visit to Angus & Robertson bookstore, while visiting his family in Sydney, led to the discovery of a book on drawing. He afterwards reflected: "I learned to my surprise that art wasn't necessarily a gift divine but a craft that could be studied and worked at". Jolliffe enrolled in an introductory course at East Sydney Technical College (now the National Art School), where his teachers commented on his lack of talent. During the Great Depression he worked as a window cleaner, during which time he inundated The Bulletin with cartoons, which they initially rejected. Eventually they began to buy his cartoons and by the beginning of World War II he became a regular contributor, taking over “Andy” from Arthur Horner. During the war he served as a camouflage officer with the RAAF and spent time in Arnhem Land. After the war he joined Smith's Weekly but resigned and began freelancing selling his cartoon strips Saltbush Bill and Witchetty's Tribe to Pix magazine. He was particularly fond of "bush" subjects. Another cartoon strip, Sandy Blight, appeared in Sydney's Sun-Herald. In 1973 Jolliffe began publishing his own magazine, Jolliffe's Outback. George Blaikie recalled in 1979 that Jolliffe "had humped the bluey and toiled at all kinds of farm and station jobs. Wherever he went he sketched the minutiae most people failed to see – shacks and sheds, funny old gates and tree stumps they hinged on, bark roofs, billabongs and cows in bogs. Such authentic reference was poured into his gags, and he became our most brilliant interpreter of the countryside.".…
