Here is a draft catalogue of the Monty's art. It is not complete. It is pieced together by studying old documents, photographs, letters and press coverage. I have shown images and prints of some of Monty's work and hope to gradually add more. I also hope to add further information about individual works, creating a catalogue raisonné. Where possible I have indicated the year painted or, at least, the "year or earlier" painted. At the end is a list of works where I have not yet got a good fix on the date. I hope all this will be useful to establish provenance. Please contact me if you have corrections, additions or any interesting facts about individual works.
