拍品專文

Pot Women was painted in 1952-54, a period between his reinterpretation of the Passion of Christ, such as his 1950-52 painting, Christ Mocked (University of Dundee), and his detailed flower pictures of 1955-57. Also painted at this time was Skeleton Party, circa 1952-54 (Tate, London), whose comically sinister dancing skeletons echo the grotesque anthropomorphism of these pot women.

We are very grateful to Professor Jane Stevenson for her assistance in cataloguing this lot.
