拍品专文

'When snow lies on bleak hills and men and animals retreat to shelter Peter sees his beloved Pennines in a new light. It is as if the artist who has painted the clothed model for months can now see her naked as the almost absence of colour reveals the skin and skeletons of buildings and landscape forms. Shadowless luminosity, like the glare of arc lights, uncovers hidden details of structure.
The painter of landscapes blanketed by snow is more or less reduced to a palette of black and white yet what distinguishes Peter's snow pictures is the infinite range of creams and greys he employs, plus the delicate blushes of colour that tell us more about the weather than any meteorological analysis.'

(M. Sara, Peter Brook in the Pennines, Otley, 1995, p. 59)
