Composition, for the front cover of 'The V&A Album' is a 1982 watercolor by Mynott, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a fancy vase filled with odd objects. Inside, there are tiny pictures, a harp, a crown, and what looks like a sword. Outside the vase, there are flowers, a necklace, and more small images. The background is a warm brown, and everything is drawn in bright, flat colors. The artist packed a lot into one vase—like a treasure chest of symbols. The tiny portraits and objects might stand for different ideas, but it’s not clear which is which.
