Yorke stated on meeting Donwood “When I met him, first day, he sat there with a book, totally aloof. I thought, I’m either really going to hate this bloke or I’m going to end up working with him forever. One of the two.”Donwood remarked on the work offered here "What we have here is some kind of hateful monster orchestrating a rain of incendiaries upon a burning city. Operation Phantom Fury was the codename given to the US military assault on the Iraqi city of Falluja in November 2004. You can read as much or as little into this picture as you like."

Peter Kinley (1926 - 1988) Black and White Sketch Oil and pencil on paper Signed top left Framed W32cm x H38cm ARR - Artist Resale Rights may be payable on this item. Provenance : Private Collection Purchased from Austin / Desmond Fine Art Limited Sold Christies Modern & Contemporary Paintings , South Kensington 28th June 1991, Lot 5 - purchased direct from the artist in 1956 Note: Peter Kinley was born in Vienna, his father was Jewish and the family was forced to leave after the Anschluss in 1938. He was sent to Lytham St Anne’s and was fostered by a Catholic family; his parents were interned in France. He studied at Düsseldorf Academy and later at St Martin’s School of Art, where he also taught. His knowledge of Islamic art and architecture led, in the early 1960s, to an interest in other Eastern cultures, especially Indian. He began to collect Indian paintings and artefacts, and Indian systems of colour and composition bore a correspondence to his own search for a language in which objects (people, houses, aeroplanes) could be expressed with all the clarity of an image, but with no loss of subtlety. He left London in 1970 to teach at Bath Academy, and his work began to reflect his more rural existence. He saw his own work as being figurative, not in the 19th Century sense of realism or naturalism, but as based on observation of the subject.
