Derrick Greaves was one of the most important British painters of the last half century, initially gaining acclaim in the 1950s when he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale along with the other ‘Kitchen-Sink’ painters with whom he was associated. Born in Sheffield in 1927, Greaves apprenticed for five years as a sign-writer, before winning a scholarship to the Royal College of Art where he studied from 1948-52.
During the ’60s his work moved away from the social realism of his previous pieces, taking on instead a more stylised approach. His work is prominently displayed in the world’s most prestigious public galleries, including the Tate Gallery, the Contemporary Arts Society, the Arts Council of Great Britain and the New York Public Library. He died in 2022.

About the Work
Signed and dated, front and verso oil on hessian.
Exhibited at the Ashgate Gallery between March - April 1965 - Exhibition label verso.
This piece has been lined with linen for conservation purposes.
Dated to 1960, this unusual still life composition epitomises a period of transition in Greaves’ long career, from the earthier bent of his ‘Kitchen Sink’ days toward the flatter, brighter, more lyrical paintings that have characterised his work over the last six decades.
