Donald Hamilton Fraser Sadly Passed Away In September 2009. He Exhibited His Highly Acclaimed Work In Paris New York Tokyo Zurich And Many Other Cities Around The World. The List Of Galleries That Own Or Have Exhibited His Work Is Phenomenal. Donald Participated In Many Of The Most Significant Exhibitions Of British Work Including The Royal Academy 25 Years Of British Painting, Where He Was Also A Royal Academician And A Trustee Since 1995. Donalds Predominant Subject Matter Was Landscape. Here He Combined His Scottish Decent And His Affinity With French Painting From His Study There In The 1950s. This Is Greatly Reflected In His Style And Execution. He Layered Thick Bright Paint With A Palette Knife To Produce An Almost Collage Effect. The Landscapes Remain Close To Their Origins Whilst Forming Abstract Almost Dream-Like Fields Of Colour. ( Asset No: HH/227)
