His titles usually refer to places, often street, many in London, where he lived. But the paintings don’t depict the locations. He attached the names because the places were of personal significance to him. As with a piece of music, he felt, don’t ask what it represents, just experience it. €4,000-6,000 (£3,478-5,217)
