"Captivating Surrealism: Exploring Shirley Markham's Waite Collection" Step into the surreal study of artist Shirley Markham, as she takes us on a journey through time with her captivating artworks. In 1952, she created a masterpiece titled "Waite, " an enigmatic piece that leaves viewers questioning its meaning. Dive further into Markham's imagination and encounter "Dante and Virgil with three-headed monster" from 1951. This intriguing artwork transports us to another realm, where mythical creatures roam freely. As we continue our exploration, we stumble upon a whimsical scene captured in "Picnic, " circa 1950. Markham's attention to detail brings this moment of leisure to life, inviting us to join in the merriment. In contrast, "Dead plants on a windowsill" from 1952 presents a melancholic yet thought-provoking image. The decaying flora serves as a metaphor for the passage of time and the fragility of life itself. Moving away from nature's decay, we find ourselves amidst the charming houses of Hampstead in another work by Markham dating back to around 1950. These quaint dwellings exude warmth and nostalgia while capturing the essence of their surroundings. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate Len Hutton's skillful cricket stroke cutting McCabe past Waite at the Oval—a snapshot frozen in time that showcases both athleticism and precision. Traveling across borders, we arrive at Paris' bustling streets adorned with vibrant kiosks selling toys—an enchanting sight captured by Markham circa 1951. This lively scene evokes childhood memories and reminds us of simpler times. Markham also captures elegance through her portrayal of a woman donning a strapless ballgown in c1952—a timeless representation of grace and sophistication that transcends eras. Another seated woman graces one of Markham's works from c1952—her brown dress exuding an air of mystery and contemplation.
