Black Fireworks, 1951
From September 2014 to February 2015 we used Pictures of the Month to illustrate Edwin's journey from a painter of conventional landscapes in the 1930s to producing Surrealist works that are quite unlike anything his contemporaries were doing in the 40s and early 50s.
In February 2015 we featured Black Fireworks, one of the abstract works Edwin started painting in the early 1950s. It was painted in 1951 and first shown at Edwin's solo exhibition at the New Gallery in Shandwick Place, Edinburgh in August and September of that year.
