About the Item

A beautiful and serene watercolour painting by Cornish artist Fred Yates. This large example of his work highlights his ability to balance colour and light in an expressive manner. Fred Yates paintings are included in many private and public collections including Brighton and Hove Art Gallery, Liverpool University, the University of Warwick, Torquay Art Gallery and Russell Coates Gallery Bournemouth. Fred Yates (British, 1922 – 2008) French Garden in bloom Watercolour on paper 28.1/2 x 40.3/8 in. (72.3 x 102.7 cm.) Provenance: From the Estate of Fred Yates Fred Yates, 1922-2008, was a British artist renowned for his en plein air naïve paintings employing bold colours and even bolder impasto brushwork. Born on 25 July 1922 in Urmston, Yates fought in World War II alongside his twin brother, who was killed at the Battle of Arnheim. After the war Fred began painting in Manchester following in the footsteps of the artist that he most admired, L.S. Lowry. Yates moved to Cornwall in 1968, where the unique light, bold coastline and busy fishing villages suited his oeuvre. He rose to public recognition after exhibiting work at the 1985 exhibition, ‘St Ives 1939–64’ at the Tate in London. Yates spent the last decade of his life in Rancon, France where he continued to boldly capture the local landscape and people. The artist died on 7th July 2008. His work can be found in many public collections including Brighton and Hove Art Gallery, Liverpool University, and the University of Warwick. Fred Yates works are a joyous, colourful celebration of people, their relationships with one another and the environments they live and play in.
