" The Welsh artist Peter Prendergast, who has died aged 60, was one of Britain's foremost landscape painters. He is best-known for his large expressionist paintings of the old quarrying districts of north-west Wales, executed with bold brushstrokes and, unlike Sir Kyffin Williams, from a palette of many colours held between thick black lines. Another difference between them is that Prendergast's canvases have human traces in them, whereas Williams usually found inspiration in the unpeopled grandeur of Snowdonia. Some critics consider Prendergast the more accomplished painter of the two, a view which underpins many of the contributions made to a book about his life and work, The Painter's Quarry (2006)." (Meic Stephens Guardian 2007) ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by One Author
