Painting of the Week- Blair Hughes Stanton
Two Figures 1939
This superb British 1930's modern art tempera Surrealist painting is by noted interwar artist Blair Hughes-Stanton. Painted in 1939 it is entitled two Figures 1939 verso and may relate to Ida Graves, poet, novelist and associate of the Bloomsbury group with whom Hughes-Stanton started the Gemini Press in 1933 and had two children. The painting echoes the influence of Picasso and Stanton's interest in the female form. It is an excellent vibrant example of his work.
