DescriptionA typical example of Neo-Romanticist art, a dominant 'ism' and style of art produced in Britain before, during, and shortly after the Second World War (1939-45). Neo-Romanticism embraced the romantic, imaginative, poetic and sometimes abstract elements that can be associated with the English landscape and its rich architectural heritage. Such evocative and emotionally charged imagery often appears reflective in its mood and generally incorporates dramatic treatments of colour, line and form.
