Anthony Whishaw, British, 1930, Canfrank, Acrylic on Canvas - Anthony Whishaw, British, 1930 Canfrank, 1976 Acrylic on Canvas, H 84 x W 60 x D 1 inches Framed Dimensions: H 85.25 x W 61.25 x D 2 inches Condition: Good Provenance: Private Texas Collection My involvement with Spanish painting dated back to my first visit to Spain in 1951, but it was not until 1955-6, when I was living there on a Spanish government scholarship, that I was completely overwhelmed by Goya's black paintings, especially those with the long horizontal format. This influenced my early figure paintings in the 60's, my landscape-related works of the 70's and 80's and several of my current paintings of interiors relating to Las Meninas. - Anthony Wishaw
