Portrait 1924 — Colour Storm

Portrait 1924 — Cold Drip

Cold Drip

Cool blue and white vertical streaks dissolve the background into a waterfall or melt effect. Warm figure stands confidently against the cool dissolution. Brushwork is loose and expressive rather than geometric. Strong temperature contrast between figure and ground.

Portrait 1924 — River Stone

River Stone

Cool blue taupe and pale rose with rounded smooth boulder forms filling the background. Figure is warm and confident against the cool stone surround. Naturalistic and grounded — the background reads as river-worn stone rather than angular rock. Softer and more painterly than Blue Granite.

Portrait 1924 — White Tendril

White Tendril

Luminous white cloud forms fill the background with dark charcoal tendril or vine-like marks threading through them. Cool blue-grey at the base. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the pale open surround. Looser and more organic than Pale Damask — botanical rather than decorative.

Portrait 1924 — Drama Queen

Portrait 1924 — Tabloid

Tabloid

Figure rendered in flat orange-red against a pale grey-cream background of fine-line panelled detail suggesting newsprint or comic strip. Large dark orange-red circular forms sweep in from the sides. Graphic and immediate with a pop art edge.
