Lostwithiel, Fred YATES (1922-2008)
Lostwithiel
Fred YATES (1922-2008)
A lovely rendering by much acclaimed British artist Fred Yates. This oil on canvas on board shows the day to day life of the villagers of the little medieval Cornish village of Lostwithiel. Although a well known tourist destination what we see here are the figures and buildings that typify village life rather than seasonal changes. This cheerful representation is a really good piece of Yates at his insightful best. A gem !
This is a early work by the artist and still in its original Fred Yates frame. Signed
picture 12.5" x 7"
framed 16" x 10.5"
Good condition
ARTIST INFORMATION
Fred Yates was born in Urmston, Lancashire, England in 1922. He began his working life as an insurance clerk but this career was cut short by WW II, during which he served as a Grenadier Guards After the war Yates took up painting - initially as a painter and decorator. Whilst working in Manchester, and training to become a teacher, Yates began painting - much in the vein of LS Lowry. Although he strived for recognition in his own right, which he achieved in later years. By 1970 Yates was living and working in Cornwall, England. In Cornwall he painted almost exclusively outdoors - scenes of local village life, clifftop and beach scenes. It was around this time that his commercial success started, following the "St Ives 1939-64" exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London. He also had a solo exhibition in Geneva which saw some of his work purchased by Henri Cartier-Bresson. In the early 1990's Yates moved to France to a small village called Rancon in department 87, Haute-Vienne . Here he painted local scenes, one of his favourites being a small chapel in the woods just outside Rancon, called Saint-Sulpice. He both met and encouraged local artists and worked with British artists based in the area. In his later years he purchased a house in Drome, Provence, where the light and air were more suited to a man in his 80's. Despite his advanced age he continued to paint regularly & travel widely. Yates died of a heart attack in July 2008 and is buried in one of his favourite spots in Cornwall overlooking St. Michaels Mount. He has works in private collections in France, UK, Canada and the United States of America and is one of our most loved artists.
