Edward Burra (1905 - 1976)
Café (1928 - 1929, this edition published 1971)
Woodcut
10 x 15 cm; sheet size 24 x 34 cm
Numbered 15/45 lower left and initialled EB lower right.
Published by the Nicholas Treadwell Gallery in 1971.
Burra's woodcut of a male and a female figure, entitled 'Café'. The hand in the foreground could belong to either figure; they gaze at one another intensely and intimately, giving the impression of having been interrupted by the viewer. Both figures' faces bear tattoo-like markings: he a star and the moon, she a geometric design resembling a noughts-and-crosses board. The "café" in which they sit is a dreamily abstract landscape full of palms and other plants from the tropics.
Edward Burra was an English painter, draughtsman, and printmaker. He met Paul Nash in 1925, and Nash introduced Burra to woodcut-making in 1928, the same year that Burra began this woodcut series. His first solo show was held at the Leicester Galleries in April 1929, and he exhibited with the English Surrealists in the 1930s. Burra went on to produce several paintings of cafés and tea-shops, and this woodcut is an early (and unusual) example of his fascination with the interior landscape of the public café.
