Froanna, the Artist’s Wife, 1937.
Wyndham Lewis painted this picture almost entirely in the colour red. Red can make us think of warmth and he used tones – variations of the same colour – to create a feeling of intimacy and relaxation.

hmmm...I don't know about the red feeling - for me to think of myself in a red room, I would be overwhelmed...I'm unlike the rest, I suppose :)
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with the artist, but I like this portrait a lot! It's definitely one I'd stop and look at a bit extra in an exhibition among others.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a portrait. Looks more burnt sienna to me but then I am colour blind and viewing on a lap top.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
That's a lovely painting but I wish he could have made her look a bit happier. I like the raised eyebrow - "This going to take much longer?"
ReplyDeleteThis feels to me like today: Sunday morning and still in 'jammies. A nice leisurely 'another-cup-of-tea?' sort of morning. But her expression does look rather bored, if not cross.
ReplyDeletePS it looks a little like a Lempicka
