EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic Reverend Robin Morrison (now Canon), a beloved figure in Birmingham, England during the late 1980s. Known for his unique and whimsical performances, Morrison regularly donned the attire of a pierrot clown, complete with white face paint, red nose, and colorful ribbons. His stage presence was a delightful blend of mime, make-up artistry, and the subtle humor of a seasoned performer. The pierrot costume, originating from the commedia dell'arte tradition, was a stark contrast to Morrison's daytime role as a reverend. Yet, his dedication to charity work was as much a part of his identity as his theatrical alter ego. The scent of carnations, a traditional flower associated with the pierrot character, often filled the air as he entertained crowds. Morrison's pierrot persona was a testament to his versatility and creativity. His top hat, adorned with a white face and a red pompom, added to the playful allure of his performances. The stage was his canvas, and Morrison, with his expressive face and nimble body, painted a world of laughter and wonder for his audience. This photograph is a vibrant and humorous portrait of an artist in his element, showcasing the power of imagination and the transformative nature of art and performance. It is a reminder of the joy and wonder that can be found in the most unexpected places, and the enduring appeal of the clown and his pierrot brethren.
