1957Description
Profile view; Armitage's preoccupation was with the human figure, combined with an interest in vertical and horizontal structure. He created small-scale figures, full of droll humour, with broad, flattened bodies, pinheads and sprouting, stick-like limbs. Descended from the figures of Giacometti and Picasso, they gesture, stroll, link arms, roll on their backs or simply sit. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 7/8/2008)
