7 of our favourite Peter Brook titles.... (Part I)

 

Where Do the Titles Come From?

When asked about the inspiration behind his artwork titles, Peter once said:
"I don't know, they float into my mind really. They just come out of the blue, they are like poems really, some of the titles. I just write on what I’m thinking."

Some of Peter's titles are straightforward, capturing the essence in just a few words. But others? They’re more like paragraphs—unfolding narratives within themselves! These titles seem to carry as much emotion and meaning as the paintings they belong to.

Here are some of our favorites…

  1. Just a ruin with an outside toilet

2. A pot of tea and a bacon tea cake will do nicely…

3. Thinking he’d heard a dog bark

4. For sale (with planning permission) a very desirable, well-situated property with extensive views (especially through the roof)

5. Who lives in a house like this? No one - it’s in a reservoir catchment area

6. Trespassing for the sake of art

7. Stop here on red - but no need to stop overnight!
