Image description

Frank Dobson's scene of acetylene welding tests was painted as part of his work as a War Artist during the Second World War (1939-1945). The welding torches cast intense pools of yellow and blue light, leaving the workers' goggles starkly silhouetted. Dobson has focused on the slightly strange shapes resulting from the flattening effects of the light on the forms of the men and objects. The picture's dramatic quality is linked to the Neo-Romantic style popular at this period.
