Description
John Bratby RA,
British 1928-1992 - The Scrapyard, 1958;
oil on board, signed lower left 'John Bratby', 121.8 x 182.5 cm (ARR)
Exhibited: The Millinery Works, London, 'John Bratby: A Famous Unknown', 3rd - 18th November 1999 (according to the label attached to the reverse)
Literature: Peter Davies, 'Bratby', Old Bakehouse Publications, 2002, illus. p.74
Note: Peter Davies refers to this painting as a 'masterpiece among a group of pictures that made inadvertent commentary on the waste and expendability of the burgeoning consumer society. The heaped pile of junk took Bratby's cluttered still life vision to its natural conclusion.' Many of these outdoor scenes were exhibited at Beaux Arts Gallery, London in 1959, the artist's final show with the gallery. The works are a natural denouement to the artist's seminal 'Kitchen Sink' period.
