Man in a Blue Jacket, Woman in a Red Dress
Man in a Blue Jacket, Woman in a Red Dress (1984) depicts two figures set against an abstract natural backdrop. Drama is created by foregrounding two clear protagonists against an abstract landscape, suggestive of Mary Fedden’s training in set design. The reference to two colours in the title parallel the considered juxtaposition of blue and red within the artwork, lending weight to the individual figures yet coalescing them into the overall compositional narrative.
