Man in Brown
Paul Lucien Dessau
1909 - 1999
This enigmatic portrait of a man in brown leather, with a gloved hand suggesting a possible injury, taking a break from the hardships of combat, reflects on the turmoil and dislocation of the time.

Bush Banana Dreaming
Eunice Napangardi
1950 - 2005
Eunice Napangardi was an influential aboriginal painter from Alice Springs, Australia.
Unusually with a male-orientated artistic community, including her husband, Kaspa Tjampitjimpa, she arose from these restraints to become one of the communities most recognisable artists.
Learning much from being an assistant to her husband and from the influences of others within the community, she mastered the form and produced a number of impressive and imaginative works. Many of these works represented the iconic Bush Banana or Yuparli, a plant, which is both nutritious and has healing powers. It is an aboriginal totem, fully grasped by Eunice. Her imagination dreams within her paintings, transporting the viewer to the journey made by her ancestors.
In December, 1991, the Alice Springs Airport commissioned a large Eunice Napangardi painting for its inaugural opening and it still hangs within the airport today. Eunice has exhibited at the Australian Embassy in Washington, the UN in New York and in a number of galleries in Australia.

Les Constructeurs
Fernand Henri Leger
1881 - 1955
Leger was a famous French painter, sculptor & film-maker. When he showed early artistic talent, he was sent to a firm of architects as an apprentice and this may well be where he cultivated his particular style of cubism. He is regarded as one of the fore-runners of Pop Art. His constructivist style was heavily influenced by his experience of modern life and his collaboration with famous architect Le Corbusier. His works were recently showing at Tate Liverpool and are on permanent display at the Pompidou Centre in Paris. This fine example of his work is:-

Alan Tortice
1948 -
Born to a mining family in the industrial North East of England, Tortice was one of eight children, and after following his father down the pits and a stint in the Army, he began painting seriously in 1987 and had his first one-man exhibition in the same year, when all his works were sold. A number of exhibitions followed. His aspiration is to capture the essence of our countryside, including the fast disappearing industrial landscape. He has a keen following for his stark realism portrayed with nostalgia for a disappearing world. This charming rustic work leaves one ruminating like the cows.

Beloved
David Thomas
Contemporary
Born in London, David Thomas trained at Cheltenham, Cardiff and Leeds Art Colleges and has been living and working near Skipton ever since, where he shares a studio with his ceramist wife.
David says of his work - “There is something of the meditative and hermetic about sitting in a room alone, stuydying objects of little importance with a concentrated attention rarely given to anything else. I use objects as stand-ins for abstract shapes”.
Thomas starts with the long process of drawing and re-arrangement of the objects in front of him. He continuously observes and draws. The process culminates in paintings that are, at the same time a record of the activity of looking and an interaction between visual experience, the material and the illusionary space within and beyond the picture surface.
