Harold Gilman - Interior (Mrs Mounter) [1917]

At first glance this jewel of a painting, an essay in stillness and quietude, may not seem a revolutionary work of art. But radical it is, both in its use of colour as the main driver of narrative and through its subject: the drab and the everyday, with a char-lady as sitter. This is a painting for the modern world, made as the old order was being torn apart by the unprecedented horror of the First World War.

[Sotheby’s, London - Oil on canvas, 38 x 33 cm]
