Oil on Board 'The Cat' by Fred Yates

1940 - 1960
Description

We are offering to you this most wonderful example by Fred Yates of 'A Cat'.

The Cat is a relatively early work, dating from the 1960s, where he was experimenting with large amounts of impasto, often applied directly from the tube or with his finger.

Oil on Board and Framed.

Signed and Dated 'Yates 67'

Subject size approx 59.5cm x 67cm, framed, overall size 63cm x 50cm

Fred’s paintings combine sharp, and disarmingly honest observations of people going about their daily lives with bold, expressive brushwork but also in Fred's case, an explosion of colour:

"It is the man in the street that I'm after, whom I feel closest to, with whom I want to make friends and enter into confidence and connivance, and he is the one I want to please and enchant by means of my work".

Delivery within the UK is included in the asking Price and Shipping is also a Pleasure so please do contact us for a Quote to any part of the World.

It is Ready to hang in the Home.

Thanks for looking and we welcome all inquires.

Chris.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mid-century British naive art refers to a visual movement during the mid-20th century characterised by simplified perspective, bold brushwork, and direct subject engagement, often created by self-taught painters or artists intentionally rejecting academic conventions.

Oil paintings on board utilise rigid wooden or composite panels, such as plywood or hardboard, coated in a primer base before oil pigments are applied using brushes or palette knives.

Specialists authenticate paintings by examining artist signatures, date inscriptions, provenance records, paint texture, and natural age-related oxidisation or wear across the panel and frame.

An original oil painting can be mounted as a focal point above a sideboard or mantelpiece, or integrated into a gallery wall to add colour and historical character to modern spaces.

Keep the painting away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, remove surface dust gently using a dry soft-bristled brush, and avoid liquid cleansers or chemical solvents.
