Peter created many works, but few etchings, incorporating the
NED -
the Glasgow equivalent of the
CHAV Peter was fascinated by the social constructs of the introspective world of the socially marginalized.
His fascination with the rules of life - how people relate to the work and
the word to them has been a continuing feature of all his work.
This fascination probably motivated by an autistic dispensation that has
led him to the brink of destruction, but ultimately enabled his genius.
this piece is named "Freddie" dated 1988 and is 3/30 (so very collectible) offers round £650
"Billy" represents classic the Howson flare for the the obscure beauty of the common man. With his head thrown back he is the king of his realm, with a roll up to enjoy. The beauty of the line in this study is mezmerising (sorry but i couldn't capture it in the photo). this is an "87" so very collectible it is 11/30
£900

Saracens at the Tate "The sky over the city is as bruised and threatening as the subjects of Howson's famous Saracen Heads series and as my tape unspools it captures their creator's measured speech and at least a flavour of his measure-less personality."
