BUTLER YEATS, RHA (1871-1957) The Laugh Oil on canvas Brian P. Burns Collection |
|||
The LaughThe setting is a circus in Sligo with two clowns making an entrance into the ring, one pushing the other in a wheelbarrow. The spontaneity of Yeats's touch and intonation captures the ripple of laughter from the tiered seats. The transformation of individual physical presences and objects into a shimmering interlace of color and form is an essential element in the creation of a Yeatsian atmosphere. |
