An exhibition of the idiosyncratic work of Pat Douthwaite
(1934-2002). A glamorous, maverick character,
Douthwaite is often associated with Outsider Art although
she exhibited regularly in her lifetime. Self-taught as an
artist, she attended classes in mime and modern dance with
Margaret Morris, who encouraged her to paint. A troubled
personality, in later years Douthwaite struggled with illness
and disability, having sustained back injuries from a brutal
attack in Edinburgh. This exhibition focuses on her prints and
drawings including her 1983 painting of ‘Gwen John in Paris’.
