———————

“Victor Pasmore was one of the leading British artist. His early work was figurative, and highly regarded, but in the late 1940s he progressed logically to abstraction.

The picture was independent object in its own right, not a representation of another object.

Looking back, he said he had witnessed the ‘revolution of Painting. . . (when) the naturalist painter has been forced to start completely again’.

This monumental work is in shallow relief, giving a subtle extra dimension to the painted surface.” (BM&AGsite)
