- Description: Robin McClure, son of the artist, writes:
'This was one of the first of a series of studio interiors which began in earnest in1967 and which continued to form a significant part of McClure's work into the mid1970s.This version, with its simplified, abstracted forms and uniform background colour for both walls and floor, is perhaps closest to its inspiration, Matisse‘s great work of the same name in the MoMA in New York.
McClure‘s versions are based on a combination of his studio and living room at his home in Strawberry Bank, Dundee, They often include still life works on an easel or a model and sometimes the artist himself, sometimes reflected in a mirror.
The previous few years had seen the artist developing visual games blurring the lines between the traditional ‘tipped-up‘ tabletop still life and a still life painting on an easel, with ‘painted‘ objects on the picture on the easel bursting out over the edge of canvas into ‘real space‘.' - Dimensions: 76 cm (H) x 102 cm (W).
