Review
"In his introduction, David Finn explains that these paintings record images which occurred to him as the result of his obsessive immersion in the poetry over a number of years. He got to know the whole of Four Quartets by heart. Here is the transformation of the poet's sensibility into terms of the painter's. It is a process of submission and there is a deep humility about it.... In some of these paintings the artist helps the reader to understand the poetic process itself the continuity and extension of the vision behind the writing, its visual structure.... After looking at these paintings, I realized things about the Four Quartets which I had not realized before: above all, the sense of its being a journey through time and eternity." Stephen Spender
