About this work

Description

A painting in Rita Simon's Archaic Massive style, depicting a man in profile to the left on a yellow background with a purple border. It was painted by "Community Artist A". During this period Rita Simon ran evening recreation classes at a further education college. This male participant was the most regular attender and attempted to produce a sense of three-dimensional form by overpainting. This information has been taken from notes made during conversations between Rita Simon and Wellcome staff between 1995 and 1997. The patient also produced the artwork in PP/RSI/B/2/3/27.

The title and date have been taken from wording written on the verso.
