und wollen nichts als blühn, Entfaltung zeigen,
als wüssten sie, ein Hauch nimmt sie bald fort,

Just love these dark colours and the whole scene reminds me of the poetry of London as expressed by Charlotte Mew.
This series looks at paintings made by members of the Camden Town Group. Although largely forgotten today, they played an important role in the transition of British art from the nineteenth century to Post-Impressionism and more recent movements and styles. Their legacy lives on in the London Group.
This article provides a systematic table of contents, and an index of the dominant themes in the paintings covered in articles in this series.
