Lot Essay

'It has been said of self-taught artists that they paint not just what they see, but also what they know, often defying perspective and other conventions to do so. In this they are not unlike map-makers who must distort in order to be truthful. Patrick Hughes is among this breed of artist' (see J. Slyce, Patrick Hughes Perverspective, London, 2005, p. 9).
