Sull’opera
Wilfrid R. Addey (1912-1999) worked as a commercial artist for over sixty years, working for Dorland Advertising and Mitchells among other London advertising firms. His work shows the range of products and illustration styles, from aeroplanes and cars, beer and perfume, to satirical cartoons and calendar pin-up girls and is representative of the post war boom in advertising during the late 1940s and 1950s.
This watercolour shows three tropical fish swimming to the left in the deep sea. Body colour has been used to create the fall of light on their scales and bubbles in the water. The subject reflects a growing interest in exotic places in the late 1940s.
