Barry Windsor-Smith “Artemis & Apollo” painting. (1975-1990) Accomplished in mixed media on 59 x 28 in. artist board visible through mat. Certainly amongst the very finest masterworks of BWS, and accordingly, one of the finest romantic works created during the 20th century. The allegorical and highly symbolic work depicts mythical “Artemis and Apollo” at the center, the scene filled with phantasmagorical elements. A work of a lifetime that took the artist considerable psychic energy and labor to create and complete, spanning multiple versions throughout many years culminating in this work of beauty and impact. Colorful, elaborate, painstakingly detailed, and completely unforgettable. The huge 59 in. wide work of art is arresting and stunning in its presentation. Signed by the artist at lower left in red, “BWS 1990”. In fine condition.
