THE EAKIN GALLERY
Miriam
Painted in April 1949
Exhibited Waddington Gallery, Montreal.
Towards the end of the 1940s, Colin Middleton’s work
took on a new direction, moving away from the surrealist
and symbolist-inspired paintings of the wartime years
towards a more emotionally expressive way of working.
The paintings of the post-war years could be considered
as forming Middleton’s first mature body of work, in
which consistency of style is mirrored by a consistency of
subject and reference, creating an emotional coherence
that runs throughout this period. While the expression of
emotion appears driven by the events and the
immediate legacy of World War Two, Middleton adds a
greater resonance and broader significance to these
paintings by frequently using titles that imply specific
biblical references or meanings. With the broadest
spiritual implications of the Bible, Middleton was able to
express a universality that existed in the human spirit
and which the destruction of convention and normality
caused by the war had once again made apparent across
all societies.
The critic Edward Sheehy wrote of the mystical quality
that Middleton sought to express through the single
female figures he painted at this time, endowing them
with a universality and timelessness “without in any way
abstracting from their immediate and intimate humanity.”
Miriam is presented with nothing to locate her or to
inform us about her, as is typical of this series of works.
Her name might mean nothing beyond that of the sitter,
but seen in the context of other works of that time we
are reminded of the prophetess who was also associated
with the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Middleton
saw the millions of people uprooted and dispossessed by
the events of the war as a wandering tribe searching for
peace and understanding.
The turbulent background, with its long, repeated strokes
creates an almost apocalyptic mood, against which
Miriam stands firmly, the line of her nose and the T-shape
of her scarf establishing a rigid geometry that leads down
to her hand, its ambiguous gesture either beckoning on,
or blocking further passage.
