Provenance: Jane Saunders.

Originally a controversial modernist, Hagedorn was one of the most colourful and original figures on the Manchester art scene in the early decades of the twentieth century. This is a rare early work and shows Hagedorn at his most graphic and original. In doing so he anticipates the style of some of the greatest British inter-war landscape painters, including many of his near contemporaries, such as Ethelbert White and Paul Nash.
