THE KEEPERS OF NO MAN'S LAND

^{THE KEEPERS OF NO MAN'S LAND
acrylic on canvas - 8x10 inches - 1976
a early work from the seventies, painted in Lethbridge, Alberta}

Decades ago, in the Seventies, I supplied a lot of works to a gallery in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. My larger canvases they bought outright (I used to have a contract with them), but smaller works like this I bartered for frames.

What exactly was on my mind in those days I don't know, but I voraciously read Fantasy, Science Fiction and related literature. I am quoting Harold Pinter because I was familiar with his work already then.

About No Man's Land in Wikipedia
According to Alasdair Pinkerton, an expert in human geography at Royal Holloway, University of London, the term is first mentioned in Domesday Book (1086), to describe parcels of land that were just beyond the London city walls.
The same term was later used as the name for the piece of land outside the north wall of London that was assigned as the place of execution.

^{I was contacted a few days ago by a relative of the former owners of the Lethbridge gallery (who have long since retired) and they would send me good photos of the works still in their possession if I would post them on my website for an estate sale.}
