On the Cover: Sunbather on Green Asphalt II by Maxwell Doig
Looking at Maxwell Doig's paintings is an experience in modern classicism. We are seduced by the carefully ordered compositions, by the quality of light, and by his masterly use of technique. The paintings are quiet but have an immediate effect and seem to grow in intensity with prolonged viewing. He lives and works in Yorkshire, UK, and is represented by Messum's, London. Andrew Sanderson (photographer). Learn more about Doig's artwork on his website, and don't miss this lovely short film about the artist.
