The Trial (after Kafka)

Keith Vaughan

Art Funded
1984
Dimensions
71 x 100 cm
Vendor
Agnew's
The 'Trial' is figurative in the most literal sense of the word, in that it is dominated by boldly simplified monolithic figures composed without the distraction of minutely observed detail.

Although on occasion his work came close to total abstraction, notably in the landscape paintings, the suggestion of a recognisable, if nightmarish, location is always present.

Provenance
