Description: | 60.8 x 156.0 s. in pencil on plate b. l. on the two sheet composing this work "9/55 Sam Ainslie" CRE AINSLEY, Sam; (British; b. 1950) HR Reception. SAC must be notified of any major damage caused to the work, and notified in the event of the theft or loss.
According to the artist "The title comes from reading Herbert Marcuse on what was 'needed' in art, i.e. passion, imagination and conscience. The nuclear threat was still looming in the mid-eighties (hence the dome like building on the left) and cities were producing pollution (right corner). My female figures are cast in deep despair (extreme left) moving gradually to a more positive and mutually supportive attitude on the right handside of the print. Dipping into the pool of clear water seemed to me an optimistic gesture... I wnated to make an exuberant image which would suggest optimism and the possibility of change." | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | FIGURE : TREE : LANDSCAPE : POLLUTION : OPTIMISM : MARCUSE : CAMPUS : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
