This is one of the 92 original paintings in the form of abstracted maps that were utilised in the film "A Walk Through H" -maps which were used in Greenaway's stunning independent movie as a central metaphor for the supposed journey we all take after death.
The film which is perhaps Greenaway's most successful "abstract" or experimental film was created before The Draughtsman's Contract made him famous.
A Walk Through H consists only of a series of close ups of various paintings by Greenaway and the odd intercut stock shot of birds in flight and the odd landscape all of which are combined with a vocal and musical track which tells the story of a final journey through an unknown land full of mazes.
The texts on the back of the frame are typed and hand written by Greenaway and the work is signed and dated by the artist. Purchased from the artist directly. Fine estate.
