"Madeira (Portugal) (Quinta da Boa Vista, Funchal)". Circa 1935. Oil on canvas. 20 x 24 inches; 25 1/2 x 29 1/4 inches (overall). Framed.
Exhibited: Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, 1945: "New English Art Club" which was arranged through the Art Exhibition Bureau, Burlington Gardens.
Note: In researching this painting we discovered an April 10th, 1935 letter from Madie Gibson to Edith Craig, with whom Clare Atwood was in a queer poly and life-long relationship, along with the dramatist and noted advocate for women's rights Christabel Marshall (British, 1871 - 1960), a letter which anticipates this painting. (The three women are buried together at St. John the Baptist's Church, Small Hythe, England.) In the letter there is a discussion about Atwood's upcoming trip to Madeira: "...happy that Tony [Clare] Atwood is able to go to Madeira as she will love the island..." and the letter writer wonders how Atwood might paint the "glory of spring" in Madeira?
In the painting "Madeira," the small solitary figure that is near hidden in the landscape is wearing Clare Atwood's signature hat, a good example of which can be seen in the the self portrait of Clare Atwood: "Self Portrait in a Hat with a Basket of Vegetables," at the National Trust, Fenton House, North London.
The Gibson letter, therefore, poses the question to which the painting “Madeira” is Atwood's answer.
We would like to thank the: "Ellen Terry and Edith Craig Database" for their assistance with our research into the history and backstory of this painting.
