Lyall Watson was born and educated in Newcastle, and moved to London in 1929. He worked as an artist, poet and theatre designer and also owned and ran the Woodstock Gallery from 1958 to 1982. Watson's work is always strong and often challenging. Women and conflict are frequent themes. This piece from about 1960 is an example of this. Watson described The Market Place like this: 'The woman of child-bearing age with children at her skirts is leaned upon, yet lectured to by older women, while men pester her to buy'.
