Two Sitting Figures
On Stripes

Artist's proof outside edition of 100l

56 x 76 cm. (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.

Teddy Boy and Girl
lithograph in colours
1960
signed and dated and numbered 292/300 by the artist in pencil
the full sheet in very good condition with margins.
SOLD
This print shows Chadwick's
Teddy boy and girl with their spiky forms associated with the fashions
of the 1960s. The sculpture Teddy Boy & Girl was completed
in 1956 and was one of the most astounding works of that year. The overall
tonality of the print in pale blues and browns not only softens the image
but also place it firmly within the 1960s.
