EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and imaginative Costume Design for Luna Park, also known as The Freaks, created by British artist Christopher Wood in 1930. Measuring at 26.5x40 cm, this oil painting on a gesso-prepared panel combines various mediums including pencil and collage. Wood's artwork transports us to the vibrant world of the circus in the early twentieth century. In this particular scene, we see a ticket office where a costumed female figure is seated, engrossed in conversation over an antique phone. The black decorative panel behind her adds an element of modernity to this traditional British setting. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the carefully crafted outfit and headwear adorning the woman to the meticulous rendering of communication equipment and media surrounding her, Wood brings life to his creation with bold colors and precise lines. The juxtaposition between modern elements and traditional attire creates an intriguing visual narrative that invites viewers into a realm where reality meets fantasy. This piece captures both the essence of early 20th-century fashion trends as well as Wood's unique artistic style. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, Costume Design for Luna Park (The Freaks) stands as a testament to Christopher Wood's talent as an artist during his tragically short-lived career.
