'An Evening in London.' (1920) Frederick Cayley Robinson made a series of paintings based around women in repose, grouped together yet lost in individual thought. The atmosphere these works convey one of peace, but also of slightly troubling stasis, is typically ambiguous.
‘Window-sill’ 1975, Pencil on paper. This was the view I saw every morning until I left for London aged 20. It’s had a profound effect on how I see the world and the kind of art I make. Give me a brick wall to paint and I’m happy🤣 @thegentleauthor @ahistoryinart
Searchlight at Dusk, Eric Ravilious, 1941. It depicts Newhaven Fort in East #Sussex in the early years of #WW2. The original artwork is in the collection of @BM_AG.
