Catalogue Note

Ray Fuller was one of the few blonde models that Flint employed and she appears in a number of significant works from the 1960s, including Two Models, The Balance, The Trio, Primavera and Waves. Ray began modelling for Flint when she was fourteen and the artist said of her that 'Her comments as far as pictures are concerned are invariably sensible and shrewd.' (Sir William Russell Flint RA, exhibition catalogue for the Royal Academy, 1962, p.24)
