\"Sweep,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte says: “I hemmed and hawed a bit about taking a painting from this collection, because I have others. But I rationalised that there is no reason why I shouldn’t have one, and if other people already had other paintings it wouldn’t stop me from releasing one to them from this batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am powerfully drawn to this image because, like many of my favourite paintings of Stewart’s, the colours are quite flat. He might be insulted by this but they remind me a bit of a paint by numbers painting. I love paint by numbers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there’s that. There’s also the story that James told me, which is that this man came to sweep Stewart’s chimney and he took a shine to him. It looks like paintings Stewart produced of other men he loved too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stewart was gay at a time when people didn’t use that word in the way they do now and desire between men was criminalised. I imagine he took risks that my peers and I could never really understand, living, as we do, in times where it is no longer illegal to be queer. I admire that very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, this painting is saturated with queer desire, and class, and resistance to anybody who thinks they can dictate who and how someone should love.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the painting on the shelf in my office:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
