In 1951, Cecil Collins (1908-1989)
created “Hymn to Night”.
I think the darker top and bottom
of the image with the colour getting lighter towards the middle, creates a
mysterious and haunting atmosphere with a suggestion of danger. I like the
range of tones in the sky as it gives a real feeling of distance and
perspective. I also like the way that the figure is almost part of the tree
which to me suggests the idea that people could be one with
nature if we ever tried or wanted to be.
I think the shape in the sky, on
the right of the tree, at first looks like a cloud but looking closer I think
it could be the shape of an angelic type figure flying towards the figure in
the foreground.
