Two Harlequin Figures

About this work

Ron Holmes made this lithograph print in the early 1950s. It shows two dancers in harlequin costumes caught in a lively pose. The Festival of Britain’s energy inspired the design. Holmes taught graphic design and worked in textiles, prints, and photography. This print uses bold yellow, blue, and red to match the dancers’ movement. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
