Description: | Swirling yellow colour represents the formation of the first planet of the solar system, Mercury ('merces' is the Latin root of the name). The flowing forms were created by thinning the paint with turpentine - this was Aldridge Haddock's usual technique. The artist's approach was influenced by the Abstract Expressionist movement of the 1950s. Aldridge Haddock was born in County Durham. He became a doctor in Grimsby, and exhibited his work in London and the North. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1967 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Aldridge Haddock | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
