GORDON G HENDERSON (SCOTTISH b. 1951) GABLE-END MACLEAN STREET (1982)
Description
GORDON G HENDERSON (SCOTTISH b. 1951) GABLE-END MACLEAN STREET (1982)
image size 41cm x 51cm, overall size 59cm x 69cm
oil on board, signed, titled verso
framed
image size 41cm x 51cm, overall size 59cm x 69cm
Note: 'I was born and brought up in a tenement in the east-end of Glasgow in the 50s. What attracted me to the Gable-end of the tenement were the design and colours of the wallpaper. There seemed to be a slice taken from the building that revealed a hidden lost story of lives now gone. In the late 70s and early 80s I photographed some of the last remaining tenements at a time when there was a policy of clearances. Many families were shipped out in the slum clearances of the 60s and 70s to new housing estates and life-long friendships were lost, but their memories lived on. The policy of tenement demolition is now considered short- sighted, wasteful and mostly unsuccessful. - Gordon G Henderson
