The ones that caught my particular fancy, as careful readers of this magazine over the years won’t be surprised to hear, is Alf Stockham’s group, in particular Harvest Moon. A huge, red moon hovers above a looming black rectangle – a pier end? – against a sunset sky of greeny apricot shading to warm green. Figurative? Abstract? Who cares! (see map 11) NU THUMB nails
