Item description from seller

351 S. After having read "Mrs Dalloway" for the first time, still overwhelmed by the reading experience and turning the book - the Oxford World's Classics edition of 2000 - in my hands, my eyes met the painting on the cover and it occurred to me that it was a most adequate embodiment of all I had just encountered in the novel. The painting's style is in line with the mood of the novel and the way language works in it: mundane simplicity with an abstract touch, formally composed and removed; fragments assembling to form a harmonious whole and collapsing again in a flow; the fleetingness of moments, strangely petrified; all in all, the painting shares the book's impact: it cannot be fully grasped but strongly affects the beholder. Portrait of the Artist's Wife, which in this moment summed up Mrs Dalloway for me, was painted by James Bolivar Manson, a contemporary of Virginia Woolf. James Bolivar Manson is mostly known for his unsuccessful and short-lived position as director of the Tate Modern from 1930-1938. His own work as a painter was little renowned and soon faded into obscurity. One of the reasons for this was that he followed a school of painting which at this time was already slightly out-dated: Impressionism. Even though the influence of Impressionist painting was omnipresent and its impact still strong, the straightforward Impressionism Manson advocated was seen to be passé.
