William Turner, Faces that Pass in the Night, oil.

William Turner F.R.S.A., R.Cam.A. (1920-2013), Faces that Pass in the Night, signed, titled on verso, oil on board, 23.5 x 39cm.; 9.25 x 15.5in. Will said that he painted this picture, because he was struck by the fact that, when walking at night along the pavements of Stockport, the people walking towards him were like spectres, as all their human features were dissolved in the darkness. This fascinated him - Dave Gunning, Todmorden Fine Art. Artists' Resale Right (droit de suite) may apply to this lot.
