Comments on: So Long, Alfred Daniels https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/01/03/so-long-alfred-daniels/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 16 Jun 2019 10:57:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: David Webster https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/01/03/so-long-alfred-daniels/#comment-1292911 Sun, 16 Jun 2019 10:57:33 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=153026#comment-1292911 I was introduced to visual research by Alf Daniels at Hornsey College of art in the late 60’s. He was a gentle soul who encouraged but didn’t push. I came to love his his work the off the cuff moments captured with an eye for meticulous observation. The humanity in his work runs deep and it is time he had an exhibition of his London.

I like some of the work, particularly the Gramophone man.However looking at the paintings there is a stronger likeness to the American artist Ben Shahn rather than Lowry?

The benign influence of Edward Bawden is discernible in Daniels’ meticulously organised views of London markets. I much admire his drawings and sketches; the complex geometry of figures and buildings in ‘Old Montague Street & Davenant Street’ stiffens the sinews and quickens the pulse. What a pity there isn’t a published monograph or catalogue of Daniels’ work.

I particularly like the cat portraits, big rounded plumpy doe eyed pussy cats and his wonderful chaotic beach scenes glowing with colour and activity. When I did my BA Arts I discovered Alfreds works and he helped me discover myself and my own style. It is a beautiful experience to stand in front of an original Daniels artwork, quite takes the breath away as you are swept into the scenes and the colours bounce off in all directions, captivating.
