"Head Mistress" — Masterful Modernist Portrait from the Artist’s ‘Longhead’ Series
By Harry Charles Tim (Framed
Signed)
A profoundly compelling and highly sophisticated portrait, "Head Mistress" is a prime example of Harry Charles Tim’s distinct contribution to post-modern figuration. As a key work within the sought-after ‘Longhead’ series, the painting achieves a striking blend of formal rigour and quiet psychological intensity.
The figure is defined by the series’ signature characteristic: the exaggeratedly elongated neck and simple, geometric silhouette. This device is not merely stylistic; it is an intellectual conceit that elevates the subject, lending her an aura of detached dignity and iconic authority—a visual dialogue that references both the formal elegance of Modigliani and the emotional directness of early Expressionism.
The subject is set against a vibrant, luminous ochre-yellow ground, a bold colour choice that gives the portrait a sense of heat and energy, providing a sharp contrast to the subject’s cool, reserved gaze. She is defined by a dark, geometric wedge-shaped hair cut and simple attire, while her face is rendered in muted, sculpted tones. The only break in the severity of the composition is the artist's use of vivid red for the lips, which captures a sense of powerful, controlled emotion.
Tim, whose artistic identity was forged through a unique background encompassing military service and years as a fine art dealer, brings a deep, mature understanding of human complexity to his work. The intellectual framework and confident execution seen in "Head Mistress" underscore why he is emerging as a genuinely distinctive voice in contemporary British painting.
For the discerning collector: As a highly recognisable piece from the important ‘Longhead’ series, "Head Mistress" offers exceptional decorative impact, a fascinating artistic narrative, and represents a strong opportunity for investment in an upward-trending contemporary artist.
Presented in a sympathetic simple white frame that visually balances the warmth of the yellow ground, "Head Mistress" is signed by the artist and is in excellent condition, ready to anchor a sophisticated collection.
