Note:	Michael Stokoe: A contemporary English painter and printmaker, Michael Stokoe studied at King's School, Bruton and at St. Martins School of Art.

	Michael Stokoe's art may generally be divided into two distinct phases. In the first half of his career the artist's work was fully abstract and concentrated upon the relationships between non representational forms and colours. Movements on a Green Field is a fine example of this period. Beginning around 1980, however, he explored figure studies and landscapes in a much more realist manner. Form and colour, however, continues to be his primary aesthetic concern.
Provenance:	Movements on a Green Field originates from the collection of Roger Trlak and bearing his inventory number, 'T-883', on the verso. Roger Trlak (1934-1975) established the commercial art company of Martin-Trlak in Chicago. In 1972 he also opened the RST Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona where he exhibited not only his own large collection of mostly contemporary art but also held important exhibitions of many modern artists. These Included such major American and international printmakers as Joseph Hirsch, Luigi Lucioni, Jacob Landau, Birgit Skiold, Michael Stokoe and Paul Wunderlich. Among Trlak's closest friends in the arts community were Raphael Soyer, Ivan Albright and Hans Burkhardt. Contemporary prints and paintings were constantly exhibited at the RST Gallery until it was closed in 1975 due to Trlak's untimely death.
