The title is a quotation from the Gospel of Matthew; a poignant and specific reference for the young artist who as a conscientious objector served in the Pioneer Corps during the Second World War. Two figures and a small dog are depicted on a lane, their figures hunched and heads bowed. The image can be read two ways, they are either escaping from, or being expelled as outcasts into a storm-ravaged landscape. After the war, Vaughan shared a studio with his close friend John Minton. Vaughan’s work at this time was heavily influenced by Graham Sutherland and William Blake.
