Muriel E.T. Asprey

Muriel E.T. Asprey is a Contemporary Realism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Muriel E.T. Asprey painted quiet, detailed watercolours of everyday places. In 1973 she showed Barges going through the Lock, Brentford, a calm scene of boats passing a narrow canal gate. The work captures the slow rhythm of a working river, with soft washes of sky and brick.

Look for the way the water’s reflection holds the colours of the towpath and barge sides. Tap Barges going through the Lock, Brentford to step into that still afternoon on the Brentford cut.
