This watercolour is part  of a remarkable series produced by the British artist Edmund Blampied, the abstract compositions were made whilst Blampied was convalescing from a serious illness in 1928. These innovative works were made by placing damp paper on glass and allowing watercolour pigment to diffuse through the substrate to create organic compositions of powerful abstraction. Blampied called these watercolours ‘Colour Symphonies’ or ‘Colour Poems’, signing them prominently and exhibiting five at Schwartz Galleries in New York in 1932.
