Summer Music

1989
Crone, David
Largely autobiographical, David Crone’s paintings convey a natural empathy for the events and people of Belfast, where he has lived and worked for most of his life. He made the following statement about 'Summer Music': ‘Heads in a taxi, figures in a shop or restaurant absorbed in their own concerns move in and out of focus and light, many signify a wider human experience and existence out of time and place. The quiet of a summer afternoon is shattered by music of flute and drum; the sound conjures anxiety, asserts meaning to those who hear it.' Ann Jones
