Little History Paintings https://rupertwhale.com/portfolio-item/little-history-paintings/ Thu, 22 Nov 2018 19:28:51 +0000 https://rupertwhale.com/?post_type=portfolio-item&p=12280 These small paintings pastiche the 19th century genre of grand history painting. The part erasure of previous layers and the inclusion of some figurative elements signify the process of painting as a parallel to history as memory that records selected moments in time.
