Catalogue Note
Painted in 1957, the year before Bell's first one-man exhibition at the Waddington Galleries. Bell had moved to St Ives from Leeds at Terry Frost's suggestion where he rented a cottage at Tregerthen, Zennor next door to Karl Weschke. He spent two periods in Italy in 1958-9 having won an Italian Government Scholarship and was a prizewinner at the first Paris International Biennale in 1959.
