Blacket fought in the Great War and after the conflict became an artist, describing himself as a 'Silhouettist’. In the catalogue for the 40th annual show of the Royal Art Society of NSW in 1919 (p.63), Blacket had a full page advertisement advertising an 'Exhibition of Silhouettes’ at the Studio, 5 Bond Street, Sydney.
