Derrick Greaves (b.1927)
Demanding and Reluctant Love

Signed, titled and dated on the reverse
Acrylic on canvas
147.5 x 95.5 cms (58 x 37½ inches)
1994

Literature:
James Hyman Derrick Greaves From Kitchen Sink to Shangri-La, Lund Humphries, London 2007, illustrated p.137.

Admiring the erotic distortions of Ingres’s late paintings such as Les Bains Turcs, Greaves eroticised existing motifs as in, Lamp (1995) and a series of related paintings. In contrast to their fleshy heat, Demanding and Reluctant Love (1994), despite the title, is relatively restrained, attracting comparison with Matisse when it was shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in 1995.
