This most interesting piece strangely did not acknowledge the considerable material taken from the book Miles Evergood: No End of Passion: Blashki Books: Sydney 2014, including the illustrations shown. It is a book that I wrote. The reference here to his second wife ( whose name was Pauline Romero) was incorrect. It was a de facto relationship as she was still married, not divorced from Joseph Romero until 1947, eight years after Miles had died in Melbourne. Pauline “Polly” took all Miles’ estate of art works back to America in 1946. After her death in 1986, they were sold by a dealer at the Alameda Flea Market, eventually returning to Australia in time for a 1988 Bicenenary retrospective exhibition in Castlemaine Art Gallery.

‘Flowers and Fruit’: such a lovely painting – full of light, colour and texture, the forms finely delineated. I hadn’t heard of Myer Blashki and am pleased to catch up with him. It’s a great pity he changed his name.
