拍品專文

'With Philipson, the title comes after the painting, and is meant to be no more than a hint. But Philipson's summers are not the earth's-eye view collages of the later Eardley, with bits of stalk or grass incorporated into the composition. Philipson produces an evocation through the ebb and flow of heightened colour, which the days of summer arouse and slacken, in humans and animals as well as in skies and growing things' (see M. Lindsay, Robin Philipson, Edinburgh, 1976, p. 66).
