King and Queen Go Driving
by
Ted Dutch
c1967. Kings and queens were a recurring theme throughout Ted’s practice. Often appearing in weirdly contemporary settings, the royal families are portrayed not as ‘bad’ people per se, but as wearing their robes rather uncomfortably, as self-important anachronisms. There is a real pathos in the way that the role becomes the human rather than the human becoming the role. The ‘Horsemen’ are closely related with their sense of nobility, also an anachronism in these cynical times.
