Ithell Colquhoun, British 1906-1988 Study for 'The Pine Family', c.1940; watercolour and pencil on paper, 38.6 x 44.4 cm (ARR) Note: with thanks to Dr. Richard Shillitoe for this assistance in the cataloguing of this work. This work is a study for one of the artist's most extraordinary images, 'The Pine Family, 1940' which is now in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Another study for the work is in the Tate collection. The work explores the artist complex and often disturbing ideas relating to gender, sexuality and metamorphosis, incorporating three truncated figures; male, female and hermaphrodite. The final painting was first exhibited in 1942 at the Leicester Galleries in London, but was removed for its deemed pornographic content. Please refer to department for condition report
