Neil Stokoe. Diagonal Staircase, ca. 1985 (artist’s estate, UK).
Oil on canvas: 175.5 x 205.7 cm. Neil Stokoe (2015): “There are aspects of Cubism that I can identify with. However, when it goes from analytical into hermetic Cubism I emotionally lose touch with it, though I understand its importance in the history of modern representation. But I didn’t feel it was the kind of space that could represent the emotional content I was interested in, and so my objection to that approach was very conscious”.
