Charles Blackman 'Too Big Too Small - two original drawings' mixed mediaIn this two panel work Too Big Too Small Charles Blackman profiles a woman front to back. Peppered with humour, frankness and artistic intuition, this work is a bare faced homage to the female body. Across his career, Blackman repeatedly returned to themes of femininity. He once wrote of this; My mother gave birth to me and I soon discovered I was really a cork. I loved women so I bobbed about on the sea of femininity. But I didnt drown. I float on
