Nowhere to Eat
Paul McCarthy
Dimensions: 61 x 76 cm
Medium: Painting
Description:
Oil on Linen When Henri Matisse placed flowers in a room they became the compositional centre of gravity in the bright spaces that often seemed to be a gathering of floating colour and ornament. The role of the vase as a visual pinion and touch stone in a picture serves to generate the emotional heart of the image. ‘Spring Harvest’ is a profusion of energy and colour radiating out from such a vase. The replete beauty of fresh flowers in a sunlit interior is a meditation in grace, painted with an agile eye and a tender passion for colour and line.
