EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Night and Evening" by Ernest Procter, a renowned English artist from the early 20th century. The painting depicts two female figures, each representing different times of day. The dark-haired woman symbolizes Night, accompanied by a graceful silvery owl soaring beside her. In contrast, the other figure embodies Evening, with her hair reflecting the warm golden hues of sunset. The composition is beautifully adorned with decorative elements that Procter was known for. Evening rests her head on pillowy grey folds reminiscent of clouds, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke as he skillfully portrays these allegorical figures. Procter's use of nudes adds a sense of vulnerability and rawness to the artwork while maintaining its tasteful elegance. The women are depicted in serene repose, inviting viewers into their world where time stands still. Displayed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this masterpiece continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its timeless beauty and symbolic representation. As you gaze upon this enchanting print, let yourself be transported into a realm where night meets evening and imagination intertwines with reality.
