The long narrow paintings are an unusual format but one he used quite often, it seems. Do you know of any particular reason for the choice?

GA, thanks for the great Henry Silk retrospective for those of us not in London this winter.

Particularly liked “Hat on the Table” – his world with the city in the distance through the window; “Boots, Polish, and Brushes”; the variety of small still life paintings of everyday objects.

Good luck with the show…
