MWW Artwork of the Day (4/23/24) David Jagger (British, 1891-1958) Olga (1936) Oil on canvas, 117.5 x 89.5 cm. Private Collection

In the forward to the 1935 catalogue for the Jagger exhibition at London's Leger Galleries, the critic H. Granville Fell wrote of the artist's work: "Never did a painter's performance speak more clearly for itself. […] There is something plus, and beyond the mere portrait, a decorative quality, an amptitude of line and mass and a harmonious ensemble of color often daringly original, that place them in the higher category of works of art, and this is never the result of flashy accident, but the outcome of much pondering and intelligent brain work."
