Description

Patrick Procktor RA RWS, 
British 1936-2003 - 

Seated male figure, c.1960; 

oil on board, inscribed on the reverse 'Procktor', 152.2 x 101.5 cm (ARR) 

Note: 
with thanks to Dr. Ian Massey, author of 'Patrick Procktor: Art and Life' (Unicorn Press, 2010), for his assistance with the cataloguing of this work. 

A similar work from the same period is illustrated in this book, 'Mr Green, 1960', previously in the collection of Lord Snowden and was most likely made during his time at the Slade where he was taught by Keith Vaughan. 

Patrick Procktor was one of the most important British artists of the late 20th century, celebrated alongside his friends Keith Vaughan and David Hockney. Known for his natural and colourful figurative style, his watercolours encapsulate his talent and wit. An intrepid traveller, his works were often inspired by the colours and sounds remembered from his trips to Greece, India and Morocco.

His work has been regularly exhibited at the Redfern Gallery, alongside a touring museum show in 1985 that began at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. He was more recently the subject of an acclaimed retrospective at Huddersfield Art Gallery in 2012. His work is in collections across the world including British Museum, London; Los Angeles County Museum, Museum of Modern Art, New York and Museo de Arte São Paulo, Brazil.
