BEAUTIFUL GOUACHE CIRCA 60. Private collection from Nice.
Derek Middleton is an abstract painter and one of the English “tachists” alongside Frank Avray Wilson. He was born in Shanghai, and lived in France from 1958 until his death in 1983.
Derek Middleton was an important figure in the Abstract Impressionist movement of the 1960s. He studied art in Munich, Florence and Düsseldorf. After serving in military intelligence during the Second World War, Middleton moved to London and his work hung at the Royal Academy in 1953 and 1954.
In 1957, he presented his first personal exhibition, at the New Vision; During each of the next three years he presented his work in solo exhibitions at the Redfern Gallery.
He moved to Paris in 1958. The change of country and cultural stimuli contributed to modifying his vision and broadening his artistic range. While his earlier works had retained some representational elements, his later works were almost purely abstract.
Middleton's works can be found in the British Museum, the City Art Galleries of Liverpool and Manchester, the Museum of Modern art in Cleveland, Ohio; Quebec City Hall; and in numerous private collections in Europe and the United States.
