Joash Woodrow (1927-2006) ''Young Woman in Blue and White'' Oil on hessian, circa 1965, 90.5cm by 71cm Provenance: 108 Fine Art, Harrogate Literature: ''Joash Woodrow Portraits'', 108 Fine Art Harrogate, p.147 Artist's Resale Rights/Droit de Suite may apply to this lot, please refer to our Terms of Business See illustration Born in Leeds in 1927 of Polish background, Woodrow initially trained at Leeds College of Art after which he served in the army as a cartographer in Egypt 1945 - 1948. Between 1950 - 1953 he studied drawing and painting at the Royal College of Art, his fellow students including Frank Auerbach, Peter Blake and the novelist Len Deighton. Shortly after graduating from The Royal College of Art Joash returned to his home in Chapel Allerton, Leeds where he continued to paint small scale landscapes and portraits. Already well aware of the broad strands of 20th century European Modernism it was the experience of the huge Picasso show at the Tate in 1960 which provided the major catalyst for the extraordinary explosion in scale and ambition that overtook his work over the next fifteen years. ''Young Woman in Blue and White'' and ''Portrait of a Young Woman on a Green Background'' (lot 209) clearly demonstrate the the power of Picasso's influence on the artist. This fused with his upbringing in a community created through a mix of English, Jewish and Eastern European culture and the realisation that his expressive roots lay outside the British Isles are what enabled him to find his voice. Philip Vann, Galleries Magazine describes his works as ''Some of the most powerfully original and expressive works of the last decades'' ''Just as Lowry is known as the visual poet of Salford and Eardley similarly of the Gorbals, so Woodrow is now being revealed as the surely unrivalled painter of 20th century Leeds'' We are grateful to Andrew Stewart at 108 Fine Art for his assistance in cataloguing lots 208 and 209

P 's automatic had been discharged in the holster, tearing a hole thru his hand. He claims he was asleep. This case was fully investigated by Capt. A and Col. Barger, Division Inspector. The evidence was quite conclusive that it was a self-inflicted wound and that P, frightened by his proximity to the front, had determined to be sent to a hospital in the rear. We transferred him to a base hospital and never heard whether or not he was found guilty and punished. An interesting aftermath of this deplorable affair occurred while the company was at Bertrichamps. Private Q , also a draft replacement man from Indiana, took occasion to bring up P 's case with me, asking what I thoought his punishment would be. I answered that he would probably be awarded the S. I. W. (Self Inflicted Wound) brassard, the badge of cowardice, and placed at disagreeable work at some dangerous point.'
