Note: In a letter received from Sir Robin Philipson, dated August 1990, soon after current owner's purchase of 'Dog' from the Royal Academy Summer exhibition, 1990, Philipson shared an intriguing insight to his masterful technique employed for this painting as well as informing us that 'Dog' is one of a group of three painted 'over the last two years', one of which was in his ownership while the other was in private collection, Edinburgh.
Philipson spoke of the joy of the matiére of paint, grappling with the heavy impasto substance, the density of colour and tone.
