London Flats No 2 is a 1930 by Cyril E. Power, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a wobbly city street with tall buildings leaning sideways. The colors are soft—pinks, yellows, and blues—like a sketch gone a little wild. A few tiny figures walk along the pavement, and trees stick up like skinny sticks. The buildings look stretched, almost like they’re bending away from each other. It’s as if the artist squished the scene flat, making everything tilt. If you like this loose, playful style, check out impasto.
Cyril Edward Power (17 December 1872 – 25 May 1951) was an English artist best known for his linocut prints, long-standing artistic partnership with artist Sybil Andrews and for co-founding the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London in 1925.
