Bristol, Royal West of England Academy, May 1956, cat.no.34
'Probably through the influence of her husband, Redpath was invited to have a solo show exhibition at the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol in May 1956. This was part of the Academy's new policy to raise money and it was the first in a series that included Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Terry Frost. According to the Academy's records, the exhibition was a commercial success and both parties were happy. There were fifty-eight paintings and watercolours, including several loan pictures...In some ways the exhibition was a retrospective of the last six years' work, including work from the Spanish, Corsican and Brittany trips as well as still-lifes and interiors. After this show she exhibited regularly at the R.W.A. and in 1959 was elected an Academician.'(Patrick Bourne, Anne Redpath 1895-1962, Atelier Books, Edinburgh, 2004, pp.85-6).
