Unusually, he came to painting through several other careers. He trained as a chartered surveyor in his father's practice and later worked as a music critic, experiences that informed the strong sense of structure, rhythm and balance that would become characteristic of his work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA pivotal moment came in 1955 when his brother, the architect Trevor Dannatt, introduced him to the painter Adrian Heath. Through Heath, Dannatt became part of an influential circle of artists that included Patrick Heron, Terry Frost, John Wells, Denis Mitchell and Alexander Mackenzie. He would go on to become a member of both the Penwith Society and the Newlyn Society, establishing himself as an important figure within the St Ives artistic community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing inspiration from both landscape and abstraction, Dannatt developed a visual language built around carefully considered relationships between line, form and space. His background in surveying is often reflected in the precision of his compositions, while his lifelong interest in music can be sensed in the rhythm and movement of his work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMovement through a Landscape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e demonstrates this approach beautifully. Executed in pencil on card, the drawing reduces the landscape to a series of economical marks and subtle structures. Despite its modest scale, the work possesses a quiet confidence and clarity, revealing Dannatt's ability to capture both movement and atmosphere through the simplest of means.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlongside his own artistic practice, Dannatt and his wife Ann assembled one of the most important private collections of St Ives and post-war British art. Built through friendships with many of the leading artists of the period, the collection was later gifted to Pallant House Gallery, where it remains an important record of twentieth-century British abstraction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e In very good condition.
