FOREWORD
Opposite: Portrait of Pat Douthwaite, by George Oliver, 1987
My mother would refer to herself as ‘The High Priestess of the grotesque’, which certainly says something about how she saw herself. My own memories oscillate between a mother, woman and a painter. There is no question that her work was the most important thing to her – she was relentlessly driven by a strong creative energy and produced an amazing quantity of paintings and drawings. Themes and ideas would seem to come from nowhere and quickly develop into a full-blown series of pictures, and fuelled with emotion she would work through the night, usually working on the floor, listening to records of classical music, jazz or film soundtracks, played loud. She admired ancient and tribal art, which could be a source of inspiration, as could animals, as subjects as well as companions – more like close friends, compensating for the lack of trust she generally had in people.
She loved travel (although she hated flying) and far-flung places were a source of subjects and inspiration. She was bright, articulate, funny and sometimes outrageous but could also be her own worst enemy, alienating people and passing up opportunities, and also making herself vulnerable. She met many of the leading artists of her time but they were often considered rivals and the contact severed. Theatricality was in her training and her personality and this, combined with the driven nature of her talent, made her an unusual, often misunderstood but utterly original artist.
Toby Hogarth, 2016

Hogey Bear, 1960oil on board, 120 x 133.5 cms, signed & dated lower leftAcquired by the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, 2013
“Hogey Bear is a portrait of Douthwaite’s husband whose affectionate nickname gives the painting its title. She noted that this painting is also a partial self-portrait, which shows her pregnant with Toby. Douthwaite cited the French artist Jean Dubuffet as an early influence and in 1960 she saw his show The Men with Beards in Paris. She was captivated by the imagery in his work but said she was too naive to appreciate his technique. The impression that Dubuffet made on the artist is evident in this painting through the mottled and graphic approach.”Alice Strang, Modern Scottish Women: Painters & Sculptors 1885-1965, National Galleries Scotland, 2015, p.44

PAT DOUTHWAITEBY GUY PEPLO E
This exhibition coincides with the publication of the first monograph of Pat Douthwaite by Guy Peploe, published by Sansom and Co. Pat Douthwaite is one of the most distinctive artists of the post-War period and this marks a significant milestone in the reappraisal of the artist who has recently been included in the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art’s exhibition Modern Scottish Women: Painters and Sculptors 1885-1965.
The book uses several significant archives of previously unpublished letters and includes illustrations of previously unseen works. The book covers all periods and themes of this most enigmatic and powerful of artists.
Guy Peploe will give a public lecture on the artist at the Hawthornden Lecture Theatre, Royal Scottish Academy, on June 6th at 12.45. Please contact the RSA for more information. The Scottish Gallery will be holding a book signing on the 4th June, 11am-1pm, with Guy Peploe.
Book cost: £25

On the fifth of May 1930, Amy Johnson set out in her de Havilland Gypsy Moth G-AAAH which she called Jason on her epic solo flight to Australia. The painting depicts the aircraft in flight against the dun coloured, featureless landscape which might be the artist’s idea of the Australian Outback. The plane’s number is writ large in the sky, like a cry of danger or sheer joy, the essence of the spirit of adventure which Douthwaite equated directly with her own actions as a painter.

The only possible link we can find between Douthwaite and Lord Wakefield is historical. The Castrol Oil Company, founded by Lord Wakefield (1859-1941) helped to fund Amy Johnson’s solo flying career which culminated with her journey to Australia in 1930 and Douthwaite, fascinated by all aspects of her life as she prepared her Amy Johnson exhibition in 1977, must have made an image of the industrialist patron.

The cool presence of her eighteen year old son Toby, in square shades and long blond hair, is affectionate and touching. Douthwaite must have seen in her son her own early likeness but the portrait is an unmistakable likeness (as her portraits of real people always were) to which she has added the characterful presence of a family cat.

The female figure is a self-portrait accompanied by a death figure, who seems more like a companion than the grim reaper. Both figures are relaxed, as if observed in a waiting room suffused with a dirty yellow light with a comically bent palm tree lending an exotic presence. Death references occur throughout the artist’s oeuvre but are seldom sinister, more often in the form of animated skeletal players in a pageant of life and death in which both must be present but the living unafraid.

“From 1959-1988 Pat Douthwaite travelled widely to North Africa, India, Peru, Venezuela, Europe, U.S.A., Kashmir, Nepal, Pakistan, Ecuador and from 1969 to 1974 she lived part of the time in Majorca with her husband Paul Hogarth. This drawing was presumably created following one of her trips to the Indian subcontinent. In 1986 Douthwaite had an exhibition at the Saddler Gallery, Durham City with the quirky title, Yippee! I went to India.”Simon Martin, 2014

“The critic Cordelia Oliver observed in 1988 that Douthwaite’s work was ‘Female – not feminine – to the core, baring teeth and claws in defence of her offspring (and by that I mean her often highly maligned paintings and drawings) she has made herself almost her sole subject, painting not as she appears in the mirror but, as it were, from the inside out, from painful firsthand knowledge of her physical and psychological makeup, of her essential needs, frustrations, rages and occasional ecstasies.’” Simon Martin, 2014

Whitby Yacht seems an unlikely subject for Douthwaite but as with so much that she drew and painted the origin was in real observation while the image is appropriated, becoming entirely her own, exploited for her own comic, decorative or tragic-comic purpose. Whitby was also one of Pat’s many temporary addresses, so this makes for a brief memento of her stay there.

From her 1979 catalogue Egyptian Queen – Drawings of Cats: “Those who have become acquainted with Pat Douthwaite’s often macabre subject matter, described in a distorted and expressionist manner might be surprised to find that she has recently become obsessed by that most domestic of animals, the cat. But in her hands the creature is devoid of any tameness – a bizarre and unsettling presence.”

PAT DOUTHWAITE1934-20021934 Born, Glasgow. Scots mother, half English/German
father. From the age of four, possibly earlier, Pat showed no
interest in her sibling brothers. Her mother had been a hat designer prior to her marriage and Pat liked to fantasise with her mother’s hat veils/feathers/jewellery and high pointed shredded pink silk dancing shoes and face make-up. She only played this particular game of ‘child theatre’ wandering about the long garden dressed in old gauze curtains wheeling a doll’s pram – no interest in dolls or toys as such only wheeling the old kinder machine with kittens in it, tucked in with old blankets.
1944 School. Slapped for being left-handed thus refused to learn to write.
1947 Began to study movement, mime and modern dance with Margaret Morris, whose husband, J. D. Fergusson, encouraged her to paint. Apart from this important influence she was self-taught. During this period she won the Phyllis Calvert Award for Mime which allowed her to study full-time with Margaret Morris. Finally performing with Ted Shawn at Jacob’s Pillow, Mass., U.S.A., in 1956.
1958 Went to live in Suffolk with a group of painters, including the Scots expatriates Colquhoun and MacBryde, and William Crozier. She met Paul Hogarth her future husband.

1960 Married Paul Hogarth and had son, Toby. Spent time in Cambridge and Soho.
1959-88 Travelled widely, to North Africa, India, Peru, Venezuela, Poland, East Germany, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, France, Italy, U.S.A., Kashmir, Nepal, Pakistan, Ecuador. From 1969 lived part of the time in Majorca.
1974 Hope Scott Award for Lithography. A German sponsor, Axel Ball, gave her the freedom
to live and work in Germany. There she met Professor Doctor Werner Schmalenbach. He introduced her to Brockstedt and Galerie Levi in Hamburg and she lived there for one year.
1975-76 Scottish Arts Council Awards.1975 Created multi-media performance work, Inanna,
