Comrades, 1905
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Flora Macdonald Reid that beautifully captures the bond between a little girl and her grandfather. In this heartwarming scene, set in either France or the Netherlands, we see the young granddaughter holding hands with her elderly companion as they sit on a bench together. Flora Reid's choice of subject matter reflects her affinity for depicting intimate moments and everyday life. The contrasting areas of light and dark meticulously arranged throughout the artwork add depth and dimension to the composition. Interestingly, the darker areas show signs of crazing, which is likely due to Reid's use of bitumen to achieve a rich brown color over time. The painting exudes nostalgia and tenderness as it transports viewers back to early 20th-century Europe. The presence of traditional Dutch clogs suggests a connection to Dutch culture, further enhancing the sense of place within the artwork. Reid's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of "Comrades". From the intricate patterns on their clothing to the delicate doll held by the little girl, each element contributes to creating an engaging narrative within this charming scene. Displayed at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Flora Macdonald Reid's remarkable talent for capturing human connections through her brushstrokes.
