Foreword by Henry Wyndham Chairman Europe - Sotheby's.

'It is a great honour to be asked to write the introduction for Martin Yeoman's one man exhibition.

In the 20 years that I have known Martin, he has produced consistently good work, which is not surprising for an artist described by the renowned connoisseur, Sir Brinsley Ford, as the best draughtsman in England.

Once again, this exhibition demonstrates Martin's skill at painting light in the true tradition of his main influences, Sickert and the Camden Town School, and more recently Peter Greenham. This, together with his subtle use of colour, makes Martin one of the best figurative artists in Britain today.

I hope you will enjoy this exhibition as much as I do.'
