Going Home [stage proof] 1979 - 1984

Editor: Here we have Leon Kossoff’s print, "Going Home." It's a chaotic image of figures in motion, rendered with these furiously etched lines. It almost feels like a visual echo of the city's energy. What do you see in this piece? Curator: It’s the poetry of the everyday, isn’t it? Kossoff finds beauty in the mundane. The scratchy lines aren't just descriptive; they're emotional. They capture the urgency, the weariness, the collective pulse of people heading home. It’s like the city’s anxieties are etched onto the paper. What do you think of that? Editor: I hadn't considered the anxiety, but now that you mention it, I see it in the hurried strokes and the figures' blurred faces. Curator: Exactly. It's a reminder that even in the most ordinary moments, there's a story, a feeling, waiting to be revealed. Editor: I’ll definitely look at Kossoff's work differently now. Thanks!
