EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and satirical print titled "Clocking off" captures a moment of potential infidelity in the early 20th century. The scene depicts a man and woman sitting on a sofa, with the man looking at the clock in shock exclaiming, "Heavens! look at the time, are you going to stay all night?" The woman responds cheekily, "Thanks I'll just ring up home to let them know."
The postcard-style artwork is filled with subtle hints of seduction and sexuality, as well as elements of humour and adultery. The vibrant colours used in this colour litho add an extra layer of intrigue to the scene.
The English School artist behind this piece has captured a moment that is both scandalous and comical, leaving viewers to wonder about the true nature of the relationship between these two characters. This print serves as a reminder of how social norms and attitudes towards relationships have evolved over time.
Whether displayed in a private collection or shared among art enthusiasts, this artwork is sure to spark conversations about love, loyalty, and deception.
