Towards by Roger Barnard

Towards 1966 by Roger Barnard

The painting Towards was included in the Whitechapel Gallery's 'The New Generation' exhibition in 1966. It was described by Robert Hughes in the exhibition catalogue:

'Complimentary colour....sets up a fast, evanescent series of after images, some painted and others optical illusion. The colour pulsation of Towards is brilliantly managed; the shapes seem to climb inwards towards the dark centre, but at the same time there is a progressive dematerialisation of paint into light as you read it from the centre outwards.'
