"Pub Scene, London England" 24" X 36" oil on
canvas
Also an early painterly experiment using "curvalinear perspective". Bassets
abstract painting phase was still active but was gradually giving way to a return to
figuration. A "chunkier" approach to layering his brushstrokes was becoming evident.
The sketch for this painting was done while Basset was still at
Hamersmith College of Art and Building, but the actual painting might have been
done when Basset entered the Royal Academy of Arts, London. Courtesy of Mr.
