Leon Kossoff British, 1926-2019
A Street in Willesden No.2, 1983
oil on board
122 x 167.5 cm
One of ".... Kossoff's seven paintings looking north from the bottom of Dudden Hill Lane. On the right of the picture are the outlines of shops and houses, with the pitched roof of the Dudden Hill Community Centre at the furthest right; on the left are the hoardings that stretch for some distance along the street, with a strip of grass in front of them. A woman, based on the artist's wife, Rosalind, sits on a bench, while people mill around her – a couple with their arms around one another, a young woman in a red dress, another in blue, and a single man walking out of the picture on the right.
