About the Item

A beautiful and peaceful abstract still life painting done in pastel. Vibrant colours such as red, yellow, blue and green burst through the picture to create a living and loving peace that is able to bring great peace and harmony. Ewart Johns (British, 1923 – 2013) Water jar and plants Pastel Signed with initials and dated ‘EJ 88’ (lower left), further signed, titled and dated (on the reverse) 10.1/4 x 7.3/4 in. (26.3 x 19.7 cm.) Ewart Johns was a Welsh artist who lived from 1923 to 2013. His works are fresh and exciting explorations of colour and form, with a clear sense of identity coming through. He trained under Ceri Richards, helping to formulate his bold and colourful style. In 1972, Johns became the founding head of the new Department of The Visual Arts at Lancaster University. He lived in Devon until the end of his life.
