About the Item

Pamela Denyer (1923-2013) Crime 29 x 22 cm Provenance: The family of A. E. Halliwell Although little is known about Pamela Denyer other than that she studied under A. E. Halliwell, the fact that Halliwell collected this painting suggests that he thought highly of his student. This vibrant painting features a stylised, angular figure of a man caught mid-stride under a spotlight, suggesting a moment of criminal action or pursuit. Set against a dramatic, geometric backdrop with bold colours, sharp shadows, and a tiled floor, the scene evokes a theatrical, almost surreal atmosphere with the overall effect suggesting the drama of Film noir.
