Derrick Greaves, a painter of the figure and her reflection – the mirror invisible in all but its profile, adds large scale to the Ingram Collection. Considered to be one of the most significant British painters of the second part of the twentieth century, Greaves came to critical acclaim in the 1950s, representing Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1956 with other Kitchen Sink artists, John Bratby, Edward Middleditch and Jack Smith.
