Andy Warhol said that his favourite colour is black and his other favourite colour is white. Matisse said that it took him 40 years to work out that the most powerful colour is black. In between black and white there is a huge tonal range - it is rather like a piano with 88 keys. This image in Antarctica employs all that piano.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe live our lives in colour, so a departure from literal reality is refreshing and allows for an abstraction - less perhaps is more.  The lines and curves also allow for this simple family unit to be an art work rather than a National Geographic image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a peaceful serenity to the story - and one that resonates with all that relish the simple joy of togetherness.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"112 x 94 cm (image size) | 151 x 132 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43995146354775,"sku":"DY-PH-Contentment-112 x 94 cm (image size) | 151 x 132 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"168 x 142 cm (image size) | 180 x 206 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43995146387543,"sku":"DY-PH-Contentment-168 x 142 cm (image size) | 180 x 206 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":34560.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_013_contentment_150x132_ff39fa10-3001-46d5-9e53-e0c21f1e110f.jpg?v=1782827038"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-contentment-ii","title":"Contentment II","description":"Contentment II\u003cbr\u003eOkeechobee, Florida – 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery state in America has its own unique characteristics that shape outsiders’ perceptions: New York is the world’s business epicenter; Texas has cowboys and oil; whilst Alaska is the final frontier.
