John Bellany CBE RA HRSA, Scottish 1942-2013 - Three figures at a table, c.1970; oil on canvas, signed on the reverse 'John Bellany', 91.8 x 96.1 cm (unframed) (ARR) Provenance: John Denham and thence by descent Note: One of the most celebrated Scottish artists of the 20th century, Bellany’s deeply symbolic work contains an unrivalled intensity and power. Using a distinctly Scottish iconography, Bellany work’s explore questions of the human condition, Celtic history and our relationship with the sea. Alongside Alexander Moffat and the poet Hugh MacDiarmid, Bellany sought to create a renaissance in Scottish culture from the 1960s. Inspired by the symbolism of Alan Davie, his work has also been highly influential on a generation of artists, including Damien Hirst who has been a major collector of his work. Bellany’s work is held in collections across the world, including the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the National Galleries of Scotland. Recent exhibitions of his work have been held at Fortnum & Masons in 2017 and the National Gallery of Scotland in 2012-13.
