* JOHN BELLANY CBE RA HRSA (SCOTTISH 1942 - 2013), THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA - THE DEPARTUREoil on canvas, signed, further signed, titled and dated '87 verso172cm x 151cm (approx 68 x 60 inches)FramedProvenance: Ex Collection of Ruth and Jerome Siegel (USA)Note: Bellany had first read Ernest Hemmingway's "The Old Man And The Sea" when he was a student and he described it as having 'hit a nerve inside'. The story obsessed Bellany and it became seminal to many of his smaller paintings, etchings and prints. This painting was first exhibited at The Compass Gallery (Glasgow) in Bellany's THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA Exhibition (1987). This painting was also published as a signed limited edition print by Berkeley Square Gallery, London (now Osborne Samuel Gallery). THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA - THE DEPARTURE was acquired by Jerome and Ruth Siegel (1987) who owned one of the finest private collections of contemporary art in America. Their multi-million dollar collection included examples by most of the great post war American and European artists and individual paintings from the collection have sold in recent years for approaching $4,000,000. Ruth founded and led Art Latitude Gallery and the Ruth Siegel Art Gallery (New York), where she nurtured and brought to prominence major young American artists. She gave Bellany a major solo show in New York in 1988 and again in 1990. Ruth Siegel was a board member of MoMA PS1 and the Museum of Arts and Design. There is much on the internet about Jerome and Ruth Siegel their lives, the art collection and their philanthropic activities.
