Taboo (Peep!), 1951
A major retrospective of Edwin's career was held at the City Art Centre, Edinburgh from 4 Aug 2018 till 10 Feb 2019. During the exhibition, Picture of the Month illustrated each phase of his career in turn, using some of the 60 works that were exhibited.
Taboo (Peep!) is described as follows in Helen Scott's book Edwin G. Lucas: An Individual Eye:
"Lucas displayed a high proportion of recent works in his second solo exhibition in 1951. This one was shown under the title Peep!, but was subsequently renamed Taboo. The painting demonstrates the artist's ongoing preoccupation with general Surrealist themes, although he always addressed such subjects according to his own unique interpretations."
