|ProvenanceSale; Christie's, London, 26 May 2011, lot 119Private Collection, U.K.ExhibitedLondon, Whitechapel Art Gallery, Keith Vaughan, March-April 1962, cat.no.315Vaughan has combined coloured oil pastels with a range of translucent wax crayons, building up a patchwork of forms which encase a standing male figure. As always Vaughan's figure is anonymous and unidentified; this is not a particular man but mankind in general. The dominant key of blue is modulated through a series of colour chords of cobalts, indigos and azures and this chromatic arrangement is off-set by more dominant blacks and earthy hues.We are grateful to Gerard Hastings for compiling this catalogue entry. His recent book Awkward Artefacts: The 'Erotic Fantasies' of Keith Vaughan is published by Pagham Press in association with the Keith Vaughan Society.
