Many of these pictures, quite possibly including Jamaican market, were at the Lefevre Gallery in 1951 and 1953. The shows were widely appreciated with the art critic John Berger writing that 'one senses Jamaica as a definite place in these pictures the alternating dryness and dampness of the vegetation, the nights of unreal moonlight, the false animation of the people in the wooden cafes beneath Coca Cola advertisements and naked light bulbs And at the same time one is aware of the painter's sympathy, of the validity of his human values.'
