Douglas MacDiarmid: An Artist Abroad Jonathan Grant Galleries, October 2013

This painting comes from Douglas' last exhibition of new work in New Zealand aged 92. One of three from his Love Letters to a Landscape series. An elemental view of Douglas' favourite mountain - a distinctively craggy, white limestone mountain ridge in Provence that he sketched and worked in pastel, oil and acrylic in increasingly abstract form from the 1950s to 2012.
