Still Life with Figures (Diptych)

Still Life with Figures (Diptych) by postmodern artist Anthony Lawrence, painted in 1984, is a compelling oil on canvas measuring 102cm by 77cm. This diptych presents two interconnected scenes: one features a small dog gazing intently at a clown and radio on a table, while the adjoining panel depicts the same dog looking up at a table adorned with flowers and fruit, with a nude woman positioned subtly in the background. This work exemplifies Lawrence’s nuanced approach to juxtaposition and symbolism, engaging viewers in a thoughtful exploration of presence, observation, and still life narratives.
