A Bank Holiday, William Strang

1912
“From about 1910 Strang painted a series of large group portraits. These were of his friends, family and models, posed in imaginary modern settings. They illustrated social relations between the sexes, and the figures were dressed in extremes of fashion. Strang invites the viewer to speculate as to what exactly is going on in this scene.”
