The first major publication about this popular artist. A journal of Fred Yates’ progress
through France between the years
1992 to the present day, using his
own words from letters, journals and other correspondence. Lavishly illustrated with over 70 colour images.
Born in Manchester in 1922, Fred Yates worked as an insurance clerk, before serving as a Grenadier Guardsman in the war. He taught art for many years, then moved to Cornwall, where he started to paint full-time. His idiosyncratic paintings are easily identified by their brilliant vibrant colour, often squeezed straight from the tube. The apparent naïve style masks a sure skill in creating his world of Manchester city life, Cornish villages and French landscapes, populated by his familiar cast of characters. Fred Yates moved to France in the early 1990s where, now in his mid-eighties, he continues to paint as obsessively as ever. |

A unique publication about Somerset artist John Caple, designed entirely by the artist, exploring the stories and traditions of this region through his visionary paintings. The book includes an introduction by playwright and novelist Nell Leyshon.
For generations John Caple’s family have been farmers and land-workers in the Mendips. Much of Caple’s art is concerned with the land, its inhabitants and the folklore of this area of Somerset. He began to paint about the collective folk memory of the Mendips: the festivals that still lingered on in certain villages, the healers and the cures, fortune-tellers, witches and ‘cunning men’. His neighbours still knew which house ‘Cunning Beacham’ used to live in; a relative might remember the way to repel an adder bite and how to use a heart charm to bring love. You are still as likely to find a magic charm as a bus ticket in a Somerset pocket. |
