Frank Bowling Mirror Small Print Mirror, 1964-6 is one of Frank Bowling’s early masterpieces. The artist has explained the piece as capturing his experience as an artist at that particular moment in time. The spiral staircase is from the Royal College of Art, where Bowling studied, and in the painting it ‘serves as an entry to another culture’. Surrounded by aspects of contemporary design and fashionable Op Art, Bowling depicted his then wife in between two figures that represent himself. The top figure Bowling has described as an ‘entity split off from myself, who is always on the verge of pulling the whole edifice down.’ Size 40 x 30.4 cm approx. printed on thick textured cotton paper Includes a 2.5-5cm approx white border Unframed
