Laurence Irving

Laurence Irving is a Contemporary Realism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Laurence Irving painted mid-century stage scenes like John Clements Conducting a Rehearsal of 'Pygmalion' by George Bernard Shaw (1972). The work shows actors and crew lit by warm, overhead lamps, caught between script and performance. The frame is tight on faces and hands, leaving the rest of the theater just suggested. Tap the canvas to step closer and catch the moment when direction turns words into action.
