A Quartet, A Painter's Tribute ... AD 1868 Albert Joseph Moore was born in York in 1841, and died in London in 1893. A Quartet represents, as Elizabeth Prettejohn writes, the classical spirit of his art and the linear grid underplaying the scene: "the figures and objects alike take their places in obedience to the abstract pattern of the grid" (120). The golden hair of the woman on the right is balanced by the golden flower and golden sash on the left, for instance. The angles of the bows and the placement of the instruments also functions within Moore's linearity. To see a higher quality version of this image, please visit Peter Nahum @ The Leister Galleries.
