Robert Deborne
Robert Deborne was born in 1870 in Viviers, a small cathedral town in the South of France.
Little is known of the finer details of Deborne’s life and he remains rather an enigma. He was the son of a rich farmer, which gave him the opportunity to concentrate on his painting without financial pressures. Indeed, he was so dedicated that he abandoned his family just before the First World War, enabling him to focus completely on his work. Despite his prolificacy, he decided never to hold a solo exhibition nor had any connection with an art dealer to sell his works, although he exhibited often at the Salon d’Automne in Paris (becoming a member in 1923) and the Salon du Sud-Est.
A noted talent in his day, Deborne exhibited with major artists at the Salon du Sud-Est. This salon exhibition was on during the winter, which was perfect for Deborne as he was able to paint all summer, his preferred season. The Salon was a forum for unknown, innovative, emerging artists. His paintings were hung alongside works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Paul Gaugin, Georges Rouault, André Derain, Albert Marquet, Felix Vallotton and Edouard Vullard, to name but a few.
Deborne was exhibiting at the Salon du Sud-Est in 1905, the year when the press coined the then rather disparaging term of ‘Fauves’ (French for ‘wild beasts’) to describe artists using strong, separate, unnatural colours in a representational manner, moving away from the realism of impressionism. The phrase stuck and the new movement of Fauvism was recognised, of which Deborne was certainly a part and influenced by.
Deborne had a close friendship with Paul Signac with whom he exhibited on several occasions at the Salon de Sud-Est. Signac spent some time in Viviers with Deborne, and the two are known to have been together on the banks of the Rhône, sketching and painting.
He mostly painted scenes of Viviers, his home town on the Rhône and its environs. He also featured Nebbio in Corsica in many of his paintings. His works are very much centered on these places that he loved, and his depictions of the Rhône, its banks and the hills beside it are poetically marked by variations in time, weather and season. He was particularly fond of painting at dawn and dusk.
Robert Deborne returned to the same landscapes again and again, portraying them from different perspectives and in changing light. This was a deliberate choice – he wanted to share the beauty of these inspiring places that were immediately before him. Vivarais to Deborne was what the Montagne Sainte-Victoire was for Cézanne or the banks of the Creuse were for Guillaumin. These landscapes were his life, and every brushstroke illuminates the beauty of these places for others to experience.

- The Heat of SummerLocated in London, GBOil on board, signed on verso Image size: 31 1/2 x 25 inches (80 x 64 cm) Framed This is a wonderful work of Pointillism, a technique of painting where small, distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. This techniques relies on the ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to blend the colour spots into a fuller range of tones. The practice of Pointillism lies in sharp contrast to the traditional methods of blending pigments on a palette. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term 'Pointillism' was coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, but is now used without its earlier pejorative connotations.

- Spring in Dorset, 20th Century English Oil Landscape, Female ArtistLocated in London, GBOil on board Image size: 12 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches (31.75 x 40 cm) Contemporary style handmade frame Exhibitions 1952 Royal Academy of Arts Exhibition, Gallery no. VII, no.429. This forest scene invites the viewer into a multi-sensory event where the cool, damp shadows of the foliage can almost be felt and the rich bouquet of the forest floor recalled. Here, Sherlock has chosen a somewhat unusual angle and composition, dissecting each truck and tree form so that only a part can be seen. Furthermore, as we look into the depths of this space it becomes clear that we are stood gazing down into a valley that is in the distance, behind this wooded area. Indeed, instead of giving us an uninterrupted view of this vista, as perhaps would be expected, this view is deliberately blocked and our focus is directed instead towards the organic forms in the foreground. The Artist Marjorie Sherlock was born at Fir Tree Cottage, George Lane, Wanstead, Essex, on 3 February 1891, the elder child of the civil engineer, Henry Sherlock, and his wife, Alice (née Platts), who was born in Benares, India. By 1901, the family was living at ‘The Limes’, 121 Mill Road, Cambridge, and Marjorie received an education locally. In 1918, she entered into marriage with her cousin, Major Wilfrid Barrett, though this proved unsuccessful and they later divorced (he remarrying in 1941). She then continued to live at the family home until the Second World War. During the First World War, Marjorie Sherlock studied at Westminster Technical Institute under the Camden Town School painters, Walter Sickert and Harold Gilman. She exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts from 1917, when she showed a powerful view of the interior of Liverpool Street Station (Government Art Collection) (to which the current etching [202] relates). In time, she would exhibit at the International Society, the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Society of 207 Graphic Art and the Women’s International Art Club (becoming a member of the last two). She also showed work internationally. Developing as a printmaker as well as a painter, Sherlock studied etching under Malcolm Osborne at the Royal College of Art in 1925. She published her etchings in four series, the titles of which indicate her love of travel: ‘English Etchings, ‘Egyptian Etchings’ (both 1925), ‘German Etchings’ (1929) and ‘Indian Etchings’ (1932). During this period, she also visited the united States. More admiring of Continental painters than British ones, she furthered her studies, in 1938, by working in Paris under André L’Hôte and André Dunoyer de Segonzac. During the Second World War, Sherlock moved to East Devon and settled at Oxenways, a Victorian hunting lodge...Category
