PETER HOWSON OBE, NIJINSKY oil on canvas, signed 183cm x 122cm (72 x 48 inches) Framed. Note: A genuinely exceptional and well documented example of Peter Howson's work completed in 1991. See ''Peter Howson'' by Robert Heller page 90. Of Howson's ''Nijinsky'' the art critic Peter Jenkins wrote ''Nijinsky I see as an heroic figure: clumsy yet nimble, his macho prance is a dance of defiance; his leaden, booted feet may hold him down but his head is in the clouds, jaw jutting like a dancing bear, he is a noble beast made an object of derision. We may see something of the tragic predicament of the individual in the twilight of the gods''. Heller describes Howson's ''Nijinsky'' as ''vastly powerful''. Provenance: Private collection Edinburgh.
