Fred YATES (1922-2008) Four Italian Virgins  Oil on canvas, signed, 20 x 25cm (frame size 35 x 40cm) Provenance: From the personal collection of Juliet Gould. The thirteen paintings in this collection were purchased directly from the artists during Juliet Gould's time running a gallery in Fowey and then Mevagissey. The Juliet Gould gallery was established in 1991 in Fowey. At the time Fred Yates had a home in North Street, Fowey and was a generous contributor to the gallery. After six years in Fowey, the gallery moved to Mevagissey where Yates gave a one man show. This was supplied with a mixture of existing paintings and a group of new work, delivered wet and just in time for the opening. The gallery continued for another 6 years and gradually acquired the other paintings.
