Music recurs throughout Banting’s work as a symbol of life’s energy—often fraught with torment—and reflects a deep connection to the workings of the mind. This is vividly expressed here through the ironic playfulness of the coloured triangles, particularly the one in the top right corner, which echoes the shape of an accordion. The overall distortion and near-writhing of the forms offer insight into the artist’s emotional state during this difficult period of his life, when he was nearly destitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"918\" data-start=\"796\"\u003eThe work is dedicated to Edward Gathorne-Hardy (1901–1978), a member of the flamboyant 'Bright Young Things' of the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"918\" data-start=\"796\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eProvenance - The Artist, by whom gifted to Edward Gathorne-Hardy, thence by descent to the previous owner.
