Lot Essay

'Max Chapman is concerned with the forming of a construction of which the elements are not superimposed upon the surface of the canvas but come, so to speak, from the inside or grow out of the canvas....Every painting of his seems to be very deliberately and rationally considered, and that is why the combination of the intense melancholy greys, within the textured surface of his works, yields, the aura of a monument, impressive yet sensitive'(see Modern Art in London, November 1960).
