'ARTHUR'
‘Arthur’ is based on a beautiful statue by renown French artist Aime-Jules Dalou (1838-1902) who was noted for his ‘unpretentious realism’. This sculpture of a five years old child, Arthur St Clair Anstruther Thomson, is held in the National Museum of Scotland.
The eyes of the statue in the final painting have been painted blue and in a realistic manner to bring that 'spark of life’ to the piece. The vibrant blue colour of the background flower represents the beauty of Nature against the Man-made sculptured form of the statue.
