Literature
This painting comes from Douglas’ last exhibition of new work in New Zealand aged 92. One of three from his Love Letters to a Landscape series.
An elemental view of Douglas’ favourite mountain — a distinctively craggy, white limestone mountain ridge in Provence that he sketched and worked in pastel, oil and acrylic in increasingly abstract form from the 1950s to 2012. Anna Cahill, author of Colours of a Life, the Life and Times of Douglas MacDiarmid, 2018
