Description: | In the 1960s, William Brooker concentrated on painting small groups of carefully placed objects on a plain table or shelf. He restricted his colours to shades of white, grey and pale blue. Many of these still-life pictures were given the place names of ancient Greek sites, such as Naxos - a reference to the carefully controlled proportions of classical architecture. The flat blocks of brushwork in this picture emphasise the patterns and structure of the composition. William Brooker was a London artist and teacher. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1962 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | William Brooker | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
