Artist
Albert Pile
Albert Pile is a Social Realism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Albert Pile painted British cityscapes in watercolour during the 1940s. In The Old Shambles, Manchester, Lancashire you can see terraced buildings with narrow gables and a wet street reflecting gas-lamp glow in October 1942. The work captures a moment when wartime shadows lengthen across cobbles still marked by pre-war shop signs. Tap into Pile’s muted palette by flipping next to the same Manchester street lit by afternoon sun.
