Description: | This etching is a version of a painting Nevinson produced called 'Any London Street'. The scene conveys the bustle and noise of a typical street in inner-city London. The houses are Victorian and life is lived outside: children skip and push prams; a woman cleans her windows; other adults watch the scene from the houses.
Nevinson liked the scene enough to use it as an illustration in his autobiography, which he published in 1937 under the title 'Paint and Prejudice'.
Etching was rejected by many British modernists because of its conservative connotations. Nevinson, a strongly figurative artist, used the medium boldly to produce many evocative images of London. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Bridgeman Copyright Service | Subjects: | Cityscape Art and Design Home and Family | Temporal: | 1915-1925 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
