Dance Hall, 1946
This is one of the drawings published together with a wonderful article by Patrick Elliot, entitled "The Surreal Case of Edwin Lucas", in the Summer 2016 issue of Scottish Art News.
The article finishes up with:
"I am still bowled over by the pictures. If you have a fair grounding in the history of art, you can usually figure out where an artist got this or that motif or style from, but with Lucas I have no idea why he painted these works, or what they mean, or how on earth he adopted that style when nobody else was painting in that way at that time. Which is why it is always a joy to look at them."
