* PETER HOWSON OBE,UNITED NATIONSoil on canvas, signed. Further signed, titled and dated 1995-98 verso183.5cm x 122cm Framed.Provenance: The artist. Sold McTear's 15th Sept 2010, lot 128.Note: I'm not aiming to be controversial. But I wanted to cut out all the reportage. It's not my job to do that. My job is to do the things you don't see, that the army doesn't even get to see, not to be an illustrator, not to tell stories, but to produce strong images of things […] I suppose I think I have the right because I was there and because as an artist I can do anything.' (the Artist quoted in Peter Howson: BOSNIA, (exh.cat.), Imperial War Museum, 1994, p.14)Peter Howson was sent to Bosnia in 1993, the conflict had been escalating rapidly and a United Nations peacekeeping force, including a significant British presence, had been deployed to try and stem the horrific acts being perpetrated by both sides. It was decided that a pictorial and artistic record of the war should be made and with limited funding available from the Imperial War Museum the patronage of The Times newspaper enabled Howson to be commissioned as the official war artist in Bosnia. Estimates of the total number of women raped during the war vary considerably but the European Union estimates roughly twenty thousand women were subject to rape while the Bosnian Interior Ministry claims a figure nearer to fifty thousand. In order to confront this mass horror Howson interviewed over a hundred rape victims and the stories he was told drove him to paint a number of uncompromising representations of these crimes. Howson painted several works depicting these atrocities including 'Croatian and Muslim" 1994.
