Provenance: Coll: Ulster Museum, Belfast
There is a spontaneity and an immediacy in the scene, the little church sheltered among the stone walls, the shawl clad women, gossiping on their way home from Mass, painted in an all pervading atmospheric grey-blue misty light. About 1946, Campbell met a group of Spanish refugees in Dublin who escaping the Spanish Civil War and from this grew his fascination and love for Spain. In 1951 he visited Spain, for the first time, and from then on, his painting explored the culture, colour and the landscape of the country especially around Malaga.
