EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a design for a decorative doorway titled "Primitive People, for the Cave of the Golden Calf". Created by Spencer Frederick Gore in graphite, this artwork was part of his preparatory drawings for murals in a notorious cabaret club located on Regent Street in London. The Yale Center for British Art proudly houses this piece as part of the Paul Mellon Collection. Gore's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pencil. The sketch depicts both male and female figures adorned with primitive attire, transporting viewers back to an ancient era. This mesmerizing composition captures the essence of cavemen and cavewomen, their raw energy emanating from the paper. The artist's intention was to create an atmosphere that would transport visitors into another world upon entering the nightclub. With its intricate decoration and study-like quality, this drawing perfectly encapsulates Gore's vision. Gifted by Frederick Gore himself, this artwork holds historical significance as it represents a unique period in London's nightlife culture. Its presence at the Yale Center for British Art allows art enthusiasts to appreciate not only Gore's talent but also gain insight into the vibrant artistic scene that once thrived within those walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of our connection to our ancestors and how art has always been used as a means to transcend time and space.
