By using Winnie the Pooh, seated in a chair, as the subject of this striking and dynamic portrait, Maeve once again gives life to a character which has been interpreted many times over the past century, being made as real as the subject of any other portrait, time and time again. This reflects and reaffirms the theme of Milne's original work, while at the same time illustrating just how ingrained Pooh has become in our cultural consciousness: from barely more than an arm, we are able to recognize his familiar form immediately.
