  • THE MURDER OF WILFRID HARGREAVES
    Keith Howden
    It has proved difficult to separate the usually melodramatically rendered life from a creative achievement that, despite a further number of successfully achieved canvases, depends essentially on the series, Landscapes with Handless Man, a linked sequence of large canvases created in the last years of life before (as he perhaps unbelievably claimed) the events they illustrate a...

  • Landscapes With Handless Man
    Keith Howden
    The material of the Landscapes is apparently an allegorical interpretation and a reconstruction/prediction of Matthews’ own life in which curiously stylised industrial or moor-land backgrounds hold recognisable, and, though the treatment is hardly realistic, recurrent figures, animals, birds and ’metaphoric objects.’ (the broken stool, the light-bulb, the fly-paper, the ...
