The Tube. Darren Thompson (American). Oil on linen.
The Tube is another work in the line of the female figure reading. This figure is standing and reading the newspaper while riding the subway in London. Or, as they call it, the tube.
Andromeda (c.1830). William Etty (English, 1787-1849). Oil on board. Lady Lever Art Gallery.
Etty often added elements from literature to his life studies to allow him to sell them as history paintings. The Lady Lever Art Gallery notes that the later addition of chains to transform this nude study into Andromeda “cannot be said to have had precisely the effect intended.”
Vivien Leigh (c.1936). Thomas Cantrell Dugdale (British, 1880-1952). Oil on canvas. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
After the war Dugdale painted full-time, holding an exhibition at the Leicester Galleries in 1919. He exhibited at the Royal Academy for the first time in 1901 and continued to do so until his death in 1952. Princess Margaret, Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, Vivien Leigh and Sir William Nicholson were amongst the numerous high-profile figures who sat for him.
Burning Love (c.1942). Dean Cornwell (American, 1892-1960). Oil on masonite.
A woman reads love letters, perhaps from a serviceman. Possible American Magazine story illustration, June 1942.
