Description
Miners' Strike,1984-85, by Georg Eisler, oil sketch on canvas, 1988.
This painting shows a group of striking miners and policemen stood around a fire. The Austrian artist George Eisler spent his career painting social division, injustice and confrontation. Yet here he has captured a moment of relative calm in the often violent Miners' Strike.
