Self Portrait with Figures, 1951
During 2021, Pictures of the Month marked the 70th anniversary of Edwin's second solo exhibition by featuring 12 of the paintings he exhibited in Aug/Sep 1951. The exhibition focused on "New Paintings" and about 45 of the 58 paintings were either newly painted or never exhibited before.
Self Portrait with Figures, dated 1951, shows Edwin at work in his studio at 5 Alva Street, Edinburgh. He's standing next to a canvas, probably in the act of painting the female figure who's standing on a table. The role of the other male figure is a mystery.
