About the Item
Martin Yeoman is a figurative oil painter and a member of the New English Art Club. His work is founded upon the traditional values he believes firmly in – that painting first and foremost should possess honesty, feeling and integrity. We asked him about his well known portraits and figure paintings.
: Apart from the obvious, the big difference was that the dancers were in motion, which I wanted to give a sense of. I made most of my paintings of that subject from drawings and memory, only a very few were painted directly from life. When I was asked to make the portrait sketch of the D-Day Veteran Laurie Weeden (below), I worked directly from him. He sat very still. At first I thought making a sketch would suit me very well. In reality the changing natural light in the sitter’s kitchen caused the most problems. I made a couple of drawings to start with and overall worked on four canvases of the same specific size. In the end I chose the canvas where all that can be seen was completed within the one session, so as to comply with the idea of making a sketch, the very last one as it turned out and the one that is now in the Royal Collection
Martin Yeoman is regarded as one of the most gifted painters to emerge from the Royal Academy Schools in the late 1970s. His work is both painterly and poetic, and largely influenced by his travels around the world as a young artist.

- Danseuses a la barre - Impressionist Figurative Pastel - Pierre Carrier-BelleuseBy Pierre Carrier-BelleuseLocated in Marlow, BuckinghamshireSigned figurative pastel on canvas circa 1910 by French genre painter Pierre Carrier-Belleuse. The work depicts three ballerinas wearing white tutus, warming up in a studio. Carrier-Belleuse was a contemporary of Edgar Degas and they exhibited simultaneously at the major Salons in Paris. This classic example evokes the Belle Epoque period in french history and is superbly executed. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 29"x24" Unframed: 26"x21" Provenance: Private French collection Pierre Carrier-Belleuse studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Alexandre Cabanel and the interior decorative artist Pierre Victor Galland. He started out as an oil painter and produced genre compositions, such as his Final Rendezvous. From 1885, however, he opted to work exclusively in pastel, producing a large number of sketches and portraits but always remaining faithful to his earlier genre compositions. Examples include Pierrot, Harlequin, Woman with Cat. The periodical Figaro Illustré published a large number of his sketches of dancers, a recurrent theme throughout his work. From 1875, Pierre Carrier-Belleuse exhibited frequently at the Paris Salon, receiving an honourable mention in 1887 and being awarded a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1889.
