Rendering 1: "Previously unseen Vincent Rattray paintings on show in Dundee"

The article which was published  on 1, February 2013 in the column “Scotland” of BBC discusses the situation in Dundee where a collection of previously unseen paintings by the artist Vincent Rattray are to go on show for the first time. The article reports at length that family members inherited the works after his death. Speaking of the exhibition it’s important to note that the paintings will be displayed at the Hannah Maclure Centre gallery in the University of Abertay, Dundee.

Analyzing the situation in Scotland it’s necessary to emphasize that exhibition curator Clare Brennan said: "It's a great honor to put many of these paintings on show for the first time." By the way she added that: "There were a great many paintings in his studio and he had also gifted painting to family members over the years." She also explained why did they found so many pictures: "He left a prolific body of work which was then divided between family members.

There is a lot of comment that the artist was influenced by his native town Dundee where he was born and raised. Vincent's son, said: "One obvious influence on my father's painting is, of course, Dundee. He loved the place, the people and its humor.

It’s an open secret that Rattray’s influences were varied and included the German artist Otto Dix, famed for his aggressive approach to color, perspective and depicting characters affected by war.
It’s very likely that Clare Brennan hoped the exhibition would uncover more previously uncatalogued work: "I'd be really interested to hear from people who have an original in their possession."

The reporter gives no details to the event, but I dare say that it’s great that people remember their death men-of-art. There is every reason to believe that Vincent Rattray will be discovered from the other side.
