From 19th century romance to 20th century realism; in the same sale is a collection
of small oil paintings by an East End criminal. The group of eight oils (FS21/372) by Jim
Gilbert, who died in 1995 are melancholic and sombre and reflect the artist's
tough life, mental illness and confinement.
The pictures depict the street life of the East End including some intimate family
groups in a harsh and realist way. The paintings are estimated at £200-£300
each.
