catonhottinroof: Gerald Edward Moira (1867‑1959) The Silent Voice In “The art of Gerald Moira” from 1922 Harold Watkins describes the painting: “The first picture, an imaginative figure-piece, was founded on these lines:‘Thereto the silent voice replied,Look up, look up - the world is wide.’ and showed a remarkable ability in the painter to take a given conventional subject and interpret it along his own unconventional lines. There is a quality in the picture which was well expressed by a critic, writing in the time of its exhibition at Burlington House: ‘In the blue moonlight, close about the dazed and doleful figure of a seated girl, a ‘silent voice’, or half perceived figure, whispers a coming comfort. Weird, haunting, fascinating it is as a page from L’Intruse of Maeterlinck.” - via -- source link
