Provenance: Coll: Arts Council of Northern Ireland
‘Hunter’s Moon’ 1949 (Coll: Arts Council of Northern Ireland) has all the precision of pattern, detailed painterly treatment, unnatural colour, dramatic spatial qualities, which encapsulates Middleton best Surrealist paintings. Concerned with the devastation of the Second World War, Middleton, poses the woman, vulnerable, looking to the sky. The skill of his training in the damask industry provides him with the learned patience to produce the detailed precision which is executed in a smooth, seamless surface. He was concerned with social issues and world politics, deeply disturbed by man’s inhumanity to man, the blitz on his native Belfast, finding the example of Salvador Dali gave him the necessary vehicle.
