Literature : Michael Stevenson and Stanley Pinker (2004) Stanley Pinker, Cape Town: Stevenson, illustrated in colour on page 23.
Notes : "On my second sojourn in Europe, around 1954, I was in northern Italy in a little village called Malcesine on Lake Garda. The painting was based on photographs I took of the quays going into the lake, where the sails of the boats and various bits of washing, mostly sheets, hung in a long rectangular line. This was a point of departure and reference for a study in which I adapted the elements to produce a composition with the emphasis on forms and colour." - Stanley Pinker1 1Michael Stevenson and Stanley Pinker (2004) Stanley Pinker, Cape Town: Stevenson, page 23.
