Jack of Hearts

In memoriam Jack Yates  - December 16 1923 - October 15th 2012.

Mischievous, funny, immensely talented,original and prolific. A gifted artist who was ‘like a variety show performer’.
For me his work encompassed the bold graphics of German expressionism mixed with a wistful humour and a touch of cool sixties flower child-meets Andy Warhol. Beautiful colours, dramatic, powerful.

One of my favourites below.
