Winifred Knights, The Deluge (1920)
Winifred Knight's most famous picture is masterpiece that feels somehow very apposite right now in its depiction of an oncoming flood. Presented in angular lines & blocked colours the picture flirts with decorative logic while depicting a human disaster. Explicitly recounting the story of Noah & the flood, now this looks more like a painting for an era of climate change. A foreboding painting
