'Black group on Yellow'

Photographic reproduction of a painting by William Gear made in 1958 and currently hanging in the Victoria Art Gallery in the City of Bath. William Gear was majestically avant-garde.
This gallery and nearby Sydney Gardens are my favourite places in Bath. They provide great peace and tranquility. Both are free of charge for entry.

A really interesting find. Always good to read that at one time his paintings “caused a public outcry.”

“The first thing that strikes you about these canvases is their colour, the way that patches of pigment shine through entangling darkness, becoming acidly luminous in the later works. The next is the dynamic force. Beyond these, though, lies something that feels even more profoundly evocative: a sense of something long-known made, through paint, somehow strange. This is not a feeling that can be tied down by dates. Dates affirm that Gear deserves a proud place among the first painters to bring postwar abstraction to Britain.” – Rachel Campbell-Johnston, The Times
