By 1947 World War II was well over. Charles Howard and Madge Knight had just left the wartime oasis of San Francisco and returned to London, a bombed-out city beset by impoverishment, strict rationing, and the coldest winter in recorded history. In Howard’s The Visitants their displacement is palpable; this painting is psychologically bleaker and compositionally more complex, less rational, and more anarchic than other works of his from the period.
