Indeed, his work, perhaps inadvertently, conveys more than a hint of the problematics of meaning in contemporary painting: As much as he strives to articulate his place in a figurative tradition that stretches from John Constable to Walter Sickert and Giorgio Morandi, his quasi homage strenuously resists its own time. A city is as bold as brass that can outstare, within a hundred and fifty years, the searching glances of Turner, Bonington, Renoir, Boudin, Sargent, Monet, Manet, Whistler, Sickert, Kokoschka, Dufy, Masson and Sutherland. Its director, Stephen Frears, his great cinematographer, Philippe Rousselot, and their designers and technicians have created a late Victorian London (impersonated by Edinburgh) worthy of Sickert and Whistler, a world of blue air and gray fog against which the red paint on a transom window sings out like a cry of agony. |
