Umbrellas | Hats
These objects appear so often that they become noticeable. Occasionally they appear to hold some significance.
The Island (1989)
oil on board - 45.7h x 61w (cm)
Lepe Beach is a familiar scene, but here a tall black man wearing spats and a checked cap, leaning gently on his stick, is an unusual person. It feels as if there is something of Richard himself in this figure.
Sails and Crucifix (1951)
oil on ? - 15.24h x 21w (cm)
The girl stands out as colourful figure as she clutches her hat and her parasol. A gust of wind often signifies some spiritual happening and the crucified figure is echoed by the man poised on the rigging of his boat.
Trying on Hats (1951)

A girl sits naked in front of a mirror while she holds a hat poised delicately over her head. Several other hats lie next to her on the bed. The whole picture is bathed in light.
