‘Sheep Coming in with the Weather’, one of some 30 Peter Brook paintings from the collection of actor James Mason, born in Huddersfield on this day in 1909, was purchased in 1976/77 on one of the famous film star’s many visits to Peter’s Brighouse home. (Sold by Bonhams in 2010)
While always associated with his man and dog motif, introduced relatively late on to deter plagiarism, Peter Brook often added a reference to himself from the start, ‘Self Portrait - Freezing’, a view of Holmfirth, being probably the best known example. (Sold by Bonhams in 2016)
