A NEW book, ‘The Highs - The Lows. Past Artists of the Bradford District’ features seventeen past local artists.
The author, Silsden resident, Colin Neville, who also curates the Not Just Hockney website, has selected incidents that represent the high and low points in their lives of the featured artists.
Colin said: “They don’t get much higher than exhibiting your artwork, like the etcher, May Tremel, at an international art show alongside some of the greats in British art; or much lower than an artist going blind, like Tom Butterfield; or a mixture of high and lows, like Doris Riley, who at the end of her days finally had one her paintings accepted for a London exhibition - but who then couldn’t afford the fare to go and see it on display.”
