About the Item
WALKING AMONGST THE CROWD
Size: 48 x 57.5 cm (including frame)
Oil on canvas
A intriguing mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
The painting captures a crowd scene composed almost entirely of male figures in dark suits and black bowler hats, their backs turned toward the viewer. Breaking the visual uniformity are two female figures in vivid pink hats – one centrally placed and clad in pale blue, and another at the lower section in the composition, also crowned in red with a puff of white plume.
The work embraces a flattened perspective and graphic abstraction typical of mid-century modernism. The composition relies on broad, assertive brushstrokes and a limited, yet expressive palette. The black coats and hats dominate the scene in moody, expressive applications of paint, while the background is a soft grey-blue wash. The pink hats provide a visual jolt, their expressive, loose brushwork suggesting individuality and quiet rebellion amid conformity.
The overall effect is both playful and thought-provoking- an exploration of identity, anonymity, and contrast in a crowd.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary white frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
