Notes:
This work was painted in the year that Prunella Clough had a solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London. Bryan Robertson’s invitation to show there took her by surprise, following as it did the pivotal Jackson Pollock exhibition in 1958. The Whitechapel was by then firmly established as a key gallery for modern art. Already at this early stage Robertson and others recognised Clough’s special place within modern British painting of the time. This untitled work shows a glimpse of buildings and a tree silhouetted against the sky. The scene which has caught the artist’s attention has been characteristically transformed. The colour is dark but rich and the atmospheric quality of the painting is enhanced by the simplified structural composition.
