This listing is for a Fantastic Original Nude Pastel & Chalk Drawing on paper by the Late Peter Collins. 

This 1969 piece has the Peter Collins stamp and is a Chalk on Paper Original measuring around 50cm by 32cm.  The piece I am selling came directly from the Official Peter Collins Studio, and is therefore a completely genuine Piece of his famous Artwork.

With Peter Collins, however, there not just nude figures - it is the feeling, the energy, the mood, the overall being. His style helps bring to life figurative art, showing the body in its form and making art lovers question where, when, why, - looking at the art to try and solve and understand.

From Leonardo da Vinci's 'Vitruvian Man', where the figure is broken down to almost a science, to Pablo Picasso's 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' where nothing may be as it seems, there are endless possibilities to express the human figure.

Peter Collins. ARCA (1923-2001)

Collins’s first job was at an advertising agency, in the commercial studio, whilst he attended evening art classes. World War II interrupted his career and he joined the Royal Artillery (of the British Army), teaching painting and drawing in the Education Corps – whilst simultaneously teaching at St Martin’s School of Art, part time.

Following the war Collins studied at the Royal College of Art, winning a scholarship. Leaving in 1950 he then worked as a commercial artist producing some well-known posters for clients including British Railways and British European Airways. He was the Art Director at Odhams Press and spent time designing for both ICI and Shell.

With his wife Georgette he created the ‘Bacombe Galleries’ in Sussex, converting a group of buildings. In 1975 they again converted buildings, this time Stanley Studios in Chelsea which were scheduled for redevelopment; many artists had worked there, probably the most famous being Elizabeth Frink. Combining an artist’s studio and a single residence at Stanley Studios the Collinses were immersed in Chelsea’s art scene and proceeded to fill the place with art, antiques, scupture and curios.
