Jeffrey's Art Collection
 Jeffrey's
books cover a wide range of themes and introduce us to characters
from all walks of life. However, there is almost always a character
in his novels that has - or develops - a love of art.
In this way, art certainly imitates life,
for Jeffrey himself is an avid art collector. He has been collecting
art for over 30 years, and his personal collection includes works
by artists such as Picasso, Mir?, Hockney, Dufy, Bonnard, Warhol
and Sisley, as well as seven paintings by Vuillard and five by
Lowry.
In an interview recorded for BBC Radio 4's
Front Row in 1998, Jeffrey explained that while the Warhol collection
might have been an investment, there are some paintings he will
never sell. "I buy what I like - I've got a little picture by
Lowry ('Jetty at Knott End' - oil on canvas, c.1957, shown above)
that I bought 20 years ago. I bought it because... I just fell
in love with it.
