EDITORS COMMENTS
The Blue Moth, Circa 1917 - A Watercolour Masterpiece by Blamire Young The Blue Moth, a captivating watercolour painting by Blamire Young, dates back to circa 1917 and is a mesmerizing addition to any art collection. This evocative work of art showcases a solitary figure standing against a plain, almost desolate, setting. The figure is enshrouded in a cloak that curiously forms the shape of a moth, giving the painting its intriguing title. The figure, dressed in a simple robe, stands tall and still, silhouetted against the backdrop of the dark night. The use of blue tones in the painting adds an ethereal quality to the image, with the deep, inky hues of the night sky contrasting beautifully with the lighter shades of the figure's cloak. The intricate details of the cloak, which appears to be in the process of transforming into a moth, are a testament to Young's exceptional skill as a watercolour artist. The Blue Moth is a thought-provoking piece that invites the viewer to ponder the meaning behind the figure and the cloak. Is the figure a symbol of transformation, shedding its old self to emerge as something new and beautiful, like the moth? Or is it a representation of the human condition, standing alone in the darkness, seeking solace and protection in the form of a cloak? This enigmatic painting is a treasure from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, known as the March of the Women Collection. It is a must-have for any art enthusiast or collector, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the early 20th century. The Blue Moth is a testament to Blamire Young's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of mystery and transformation through his watercolour brushstrokes.
