Merry-Go-Round (Gertler painting)
''Merry-Go-Round'' is a large oil on canvas painting made by Mark Gertler in 1916, when he was 24 years old. It is perhaps his most famous work, and depicts men and women (many in uniform) on a merry-go-round ride. The painting (and another 1915 painting entitled ''Swing Boats'', now lost) may have been inspired by a ride at the annual fair on Hampstead Heath.
==Background==
Gertler moved to Hampstead in north London in late 1914. A letter written by Gertler's friend D. H. Lawrence in September 1915 mentions wounded soldiers in uniforms enjoying the rowdy entertainment at the fair. Another letter by Lawrence in 1916 describes the painting as "the best ''modern'' picture I have seen: I think it is great and true."
The work in progress is mentioned in a letter sent by Gertler to Lytton Strachey in May 1916: "I am working very hard on a large and very unsaleable picture of "Merry-Go-Round"."
