Gouache
55 x 38 cm
Provenance: The family of A. E. Halliwell.

Little is known about the artist other than the fact that he studied under the celebrated artist A. E. Halliwell. Halliwell is known to have collected a number of his students’ paintings and the fact that this painting was in Halliwell’s collection demonstrates that Halliwell thought highly of it. Indeed, this painting is striking. It features an abstract arrangement of organic and mechanical forms, combining wire-like lines, feather-like textures, and soft, muted colours. With its delicate balance of structure and spontaneity, the painting evokes a dreamlike atmosphere, blurring the boundaries between sculpture and drawing, nature and invention. It is easy to see why Halliwell thought it worthy of praise.

Condition: Generally very good.
