Screen

RE mentioned this triptych in a diary extract. He was paid a visit by potential collectors while preparing for his first solo show at the Goupil Gallery in 1929: "[Mr Stocks] bought the Screen painting at the offer of £10, for which I was truly thankful. I don’t quite know why he is so keen on the said Screen, because I am not. He also bought the Boy with Indian Headdress for £8 which I am getting framed. It was exhibited at the London Group early this year. So now I shall be able to pay for the framing of the drawings thank goodness!"
