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.


Lynn Chadwick. teddy Boy and Girl




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.
