(sheet) This is a classic lithograph by the artist, showing two abstract figures sitting on stripes. This is a well-known motif for Chadwick, and he used the block and triangular headed figures for large sculptures in the same year. In fact, the motif of seated figures was to dominate Chadwick's major bronzes during the 1970s. Here, the seated figures are arranged in formal poses close to one another, suggesting apparent intimacy. The female torso and the ‘pleated' effect of the man's clothing are both clearly defined and each is turned slightly inwards towards the other, suggesting a closeness and intimacy that contracts with the acid green striped bench upon which both figures are seated. The overall effect of the composition suggests a timeless quality so characteristic of Chadwick's work. £800

		*The Guards* lithograph in colours 1960 signed and dated and numbered 292/300 by the artist in pencil The overall tonality of the print in pale blues and browns softens the image but also places it firmly within the 1960s. SOLD
