* PAT DOUTHWAITE (SCOTTISH 1939 - 2002),UNTITLEDpastel on paperimage size 62cm x 48cm, overall size 88cm x 69cm Mounted, framed and under glass.Provenance: The Corrymella Scott Gallery.Note: "She should no longer be seen as an exotic maverick but acknowledged as one of the true originals of Scottish art." A concluding comment on Pat Douthwaite’s 1993 solo exhibition, made by The Scotsman’s art critic Edward Gage. The ‘maverick’ label is often attached to Douthwaite to encompass a variety of the artist’s more striking traits: her troubled personality, the restless, nomadic lifestyle that took her across the world in search of subjects and meaning and her complete disregard for anything that did not further the development of her artwork, despite it making her a difficult figure to manage and work with. A good example is an incident in which she broke into a house and stole back one of her paintings from a buyer whom she did not consider worthy of owning her work. This demanding, uncompromising commitment and all-encompassing focus on her work paid off. She developed and sustained a distinctive, signature style characterised by raw feeling and idiosyncratic lines. Douthwaite was fascinated by historical heroines including Greek deities, Mary Queen of Scots and the aviator Amy Johnson and often depicted them as well as herself. Her images of women remain the most powerful and popular of her works, truly encapsulating the pain and suffering women can experience and endure. This exploration of suffering means there is a violence in the work, yet Douthwaite often manages to retain fun, playful touches in their execution. Born in Glasgow in 1934, Douthwaite’s first exposure to creative expression was in the form of dance classes at the dancing school run by Margaret Morris, the bohemian partner of the Scottish Colourist John Duncan Fergusson. She eventually discontinued dancing and decided, aged twenty-four and with no artistic training, to become a painter. Douthwaite showed her work to Fergusson, who recognised her talent and encouraged her endeavours, though he suggested she avoid art school, as he had done. Thus, both Morris and Fergusson had a major impact on Douthwaite’s creative endeavours. Douthwaite’s ever-present wanderlust quickly took over and she left Glasgow to join an artistic community within William Crozier’s house in East Anglia. An informal artistic training in itself, she was surrounded by fellow artists including Robert Colquhoun, Robert MacBryde and Crozier himself. In her lifetime, her work was recognised and championed by key figures in the Scottish art world; including Richard Demarco, who mounted her first major exhibition in Scotland in 1967; Douglas Hall, the former Director of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the artist and critic Edward Gage. Following her death, her popularity continues to increase as ever more collectors are drawn to her distinctive, expressive style and tales of her mysterious, maverick personality. The prestigious Scottish Gallery (Edinburgh) have long promoted Pat Douthwaite's work and her most recent solo show "Pat Douthwaite, On The Edge" was staged by the gallery between 4th and 27th February 2021.

Label verso: The Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh.Note: Keith Bowen was born in Denbighshire, North Wales in 1950. He studied Graphic Design at the Faculty of Art & Design, Manchester Polytechnic between 1969 and 1972. He has exhibited extensively and received justifiable acclaim. Amongst a host of awards, Keith has twice received the Gold Medal for Fine Art at the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales. In 1997 he was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the University of Wales. Two Royal Mail Stamps and two books, ‘Snowdon Shepherd’ and ‘Among the Amish’ feature his paintings of the countryside. Keith writes of his work: “For the first time at the age of twelve, I stood on the top of Snowdon; I had found something that I wanted to do and somewhere that I wanted to be. Forty-five years later, I am still stumbling around the Welsh hills, and I still feel that initial excitement and fascination with the place. However, these days, I am as likely to visit those remote places that are away from the high peaks, places that are neglected and unremarkable, the forgotten, old and strange back country: Y Cefn Gwlad". Collections include: The National Library of Wales, The National Trust, National Postal Museum, Oriel Ynys Mon (Llangefni), Denbighshire County Council and Leicestershire County Council. Keith Bowen's pictures appear at auctions infrequently but on 16th July 2022 Rogers & Jones (Cardiff) sold two of his pastels (lots 411 & 412) for £2000 & £4200 (both hammer).

MATÍAS PALAU FERRER (Montblanch, 1921-2000)."Young man with guitar".Waxes and pastel on thick paper.Signed in the lower right-hand corner.Measurements: 70 x 50 cm.The delicate feminine portraits of cubist heritage like the one we are dealing with were Palau Ferrer's most emblematic and personal creations.He studied at the Real Academia Catalana de Bellas Artes de San Jorge, Barcelona and moved to Paris in 1957 where he was one of Pablo Picasso's disciples. He began with some cubist-inspired works on oil canvases. Over the years he also did some ceramics and a few sculptures. After coming to fame in Spain he exhibited in several foreign countries, including France, the UK and the USA. His most important works are Woman and Moon, Montblanch and Guer-Blanc. Palau Ferré became notorious for his sudden mood swings, which led him to burn his oil paintings in 1974 after a dispute with a gallery owner. As a protest against what he defined as the "prostitution of art", he continued to systematically burn all his oil paintings that came into his possession over a period of about twenty years. He usually scattered the ashes of his paintings ceremonially in the Francolí River in his homeland, but some of the ashes of his canvases were saved and became part of an art exhibition in Pennsylvania, USA.1 His prolonged protest led him to stop painting oil canvases and to prohibit the few that survived from being exhibited until 1989. In his last artistic phase he painted only in India ink on thick paper using a technique of his own invention. He always signed his works with his two surnames "Palau Ferré". Palau Ferré died on 1 January 2000 in Montblanch and the town council named a street after him that same year. Months later, the Palau Ferré Art Museum was inaugurated, where some of his works are exhibited, including some rare canvases that were saved from burning.
