Glyn Philpot
Study of a Man's Shoulder

c.1920

About the Item

Black chalk heightened with white chalk on blue paper, 19cm x 15cm, (32cm x 27cm framed). First exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1904, Philpot was elected as an Academician in 1923. Like many artists of his generation, he enjoyed a comfortable income from portraiture, which enabled him to paint less commercially successful and perhaps more personal subjects. His interest in the male nude and portraits of young men – thought to be friends, models and lovers – portrays his gradual acceptance and expression of his own homosexuality. Some of these later works were considered controversial because of their homosexual imagery. He was the subject of major exhibition at the Pallant House Gallery in 2022.

    Charcoal on paper, 56cm x 38cm, (79cm x 60cm framed). Provenance: The Artist’s sister. From the mid-1940s to the early 1950s Colquhoun was considered one of the leading artists of his generation. Along with that of Robert MacBryde, another artist and Colquhoun’s partner, his work was regularly shown at the Lefevre Gallery in London. This early work is likely to be a drawing from when Colquhoun was at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1930s. Known as the ‘Two Roberts’, Colquhoun and MacBryde met at the Glasgow School of Art in 1932 and lived together until Colquhoun’s death in 1962. The pair also exhibited in several group shows at the Lefevre Gallery, including one in February 1946, alongside Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland, Bacon and Freud. Works were bought by the Arts Council, the British Council, the Contemporary Art Society and the Imperial War Museum. Major art patrons added their work to their collections, including Sir Kenneth Clark...
