In the most recently published book on Middleton's work, author Dickon Hall comments on the Carnalridge series of 1960: "[The series] is reminiscent of Cézanne in its highly structured response to a familiar and well-studied landscape, but there are many variations within it. Middleton had experimented on occasions with a very frontal approach to nature ... which allowed him to build up a flattened and rather geometric pattern of shapes that begins to dispense with the traditional use of perspective" (Dickon Hall, Colin Middleton: A Study, Joga Press, 2001, p.52).€12000-€15000 (IR £9400-£11700 approx.)
