James Dickson Innes (British 1887-1914)/Tan-y-Griseau:The Green Dress (Arenig)/oil on wood panel, 29.75cm x 39.25cm/Provenance: M V B Hill Esq. and thence by descent/Exhibited: XIX Biennale Internazionale d' Arte, 1934/The Last Fifty years in British art 1900-1950;The English Speaking Union of the United States 195/Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield, March 1961, No 31/ Southampton Art Gallery, 10th Sept-23 Oct, 1978, No 92/ Some Miraculous Promised Land: J.D.Innes, Augustus John/and Derwent Lees in North Wales 1910-13, Mostyn Art Gallery, Llandudno, 1982 /Note: By family tradition the figure in this painting was added by Augustus John. James Dickson Innes and Augustus John were painting together in North Wales crca 1910-1912; the period is described in the BBC documentary 'The Mountain That Had to be Painted' (2013). We have been unable to confirm the accuracy of this story, however the figure certainly shows the influence of John and its position within the landscape lends the painting a surreal air.
