Paul Crawford considers the above text to be "in process".
A revised and more complete text will appear here soon
following the completion of the exhibition catalogue.
About 20 of the 100 works in this exhibition
relate to Reid's interest in Edouard Manet's 1863 painting
Déjeuner sur lherbe such as the On
The Grass Series. Click here for further images and information
