Reading at the window. Harold Knight (British, 1874-1961). Oil on board.
Together with his wife and painter Laura Knight, Knight moved to the Staithes Artist Colony on the Yorkshire coast where the art was characteristically of free brushwork in a bright Impressionist palette. During this important period in his development, Knight painted the daily activities of local Staithes fishermen and their families.
I, I can’t get these memories out of my mind,
And some kind of madness has started to evolve.
I, I tried so hard to let you go,
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole.
- Madness, Muse
