The artist says of Teddy Boy and Girl, 'Here we have a rectangle opposed to a triangle, basically, and a slight amount of movement by the girl's legs being bent a bit... What I was doing was getting some sort of attitude... It was meant to be as exact as I could to express a certain way of speaking, as it were, between two people' (see P. Levine, Chadwick the Artist and his Work, The Haque, 1988, p.63)
