Artist: HAROLD YATES (1916-2000)

Title: 'WARTIME BILLET' (original unframed watercolour) 

Description: Harold Yates exhibited with the Artists International Association and the London Gallery in the late 1930s and he had his first one man show at Foyles Art Gallery at the age of only 19 years.  He went on to show at The Leger Gallery, the Modern Art Gallery and in the 'Artists of Fame and Promise' exhibitions at the Leicester Galleries.  In 1989 he had a major show at the Belgrave Gallery in London, covering his work from the 1930s to 1960s.

Yates is perhaps best known for his paintings of life at the time of the Second World War, during which he served in the Army.  Some of these paintings are now in the Imperial War Museum.

The present watercolour is signed and dated 1940, and is titled verso 'Billet'.  It measures 6.7 x 11 inches sight size in its recent mount (the work is unframed) but the paper size is more like 8 x 12 inches.  The watercolour is in good, fresh condition...
