I made a second visit to the Sainsbury Centre to see the Masterpieces Exhibition. The above painting was referenced in relation to another exhibit. I liked the colour palette which is very similar to the one I am putting together for the Masters project - black, white and neutral colours with red. I also find the repetition attractive - the figures, the pattern of the dress and the colour (although they have different colour eyes.
I also admired the linocuts byCyril Power - again the colours and the repetition. However, in contrast with the absolute stillness and rigidity of the Chalmondeley sisters, these linocuts have movement, curves and flippancy.
