Artwork: Madonna
Year: 1981
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Artwork Size: 75 × 95 cm
Framing: Framed
Madonna, painted in 1981, is a vibrant example of Eileen Agar’s distinctive visual language, combining bold colour, symbolic imagery and simplified forms to create a composition that is both evocative and enigmatic.
Throughout her career, Agar explored themes of mythology, spirituality and the natural world, often transforming familiar subjects into imaginative, dreamlike visions.
As a significant figure in British Surrealism, Agar developed a highly individual approach that moved between abstraction and representation, drawing inspiration from archaeology, literature and the subconscious. In Madonna, these influences come together in a composition that reflects her enduring fascination with symbolism while remaining distinctly modern.
Executed in acrylic on canvas during the mature period of Agar’s career, Madonna reflects the imagination, experimentation and expressive freedom that remained central to her practice throughout her life.
