Other noteworthy works in 'People's Choice' include Christopher Wood's P7 134 of fishing boats off Penzance--sadly his portrait of Constant Lambert did not make the selection-Edward Wadsworth's Bronze Ballet, a surreal scene of propellers on a quayside, and Edward Burra's majestic Soldiers' Backs of 1942.
