Philip Wilson Steer
Characterful study of the artist's cat

About the Item

A really super image of a beautiful pussy cat by one of the keystones of the British Modern Art movement, Philip Wilson Steer. The relationship between artists and their pets has often been recorded through the artist's own work. Notable examples are Hogarth with his Self portrait with his pet pug and Picasso's minimalist depiction of his dachsund "Lump". This charming example of Steer's cat, Mr Thomas is attractively framed and ready to hang. Philip Wilson Steer (1860-1942) The artist's cat, Mr Thomas Pencil Signed 4¾ x 6¼ inches without frame 11 x 12 with frame Philip Wilson Steer (28 December 1860 – 18 March 1942) was a British painter of landscapes, seascapes plus portraits and figure studies. He was also an influential art teacher. His sea and landscape paintings made him a leading figure in the Impressionist movement in Britain but in time he turned to a more traditional English style, clearly influenced by both John Constable and J. M. W. Turner, and spent more time painting in the countryside rather than on the coast. As a painting tutor at the Slade School of Art for many years he influenced generations of young artists.

  • 20th Century English 1930s Equestrian Sporting Art Lady on Horseback
    By Eric Meade-King
    Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
    "Learnt to ride him gently up to his fences" by Eric Meade-King (1911-1987) signed by initials lower right in image, inscribed to lower margin in pencil graphite and ink on paper laid to thick card, unframed Image 9.75 x 13.0 inches, overall 11.25 x 13.25 inches A really lovely example of Meade-King's work in those happy days of the 1930's in Britain when a large portion of the population in England relished the heady summer days at country shows, competitive riding and all things sporting. The rider is depicted elegantly and Meade-King has achieved perfect lines in her steed at a gallop towards a fence. Marquees stand proudly in the background with flags fluttering in the breeze of a summer's day. This work forms part of a collection of similar drawings we currently hold by Meade-King. Ideal for a sporting themed interior. Eric Meade-King was a prolific artist of all things sporting and surrounding English country life. Studied at Westminster School of Art in London and benefited from tutelage by Lionel Edwards, whose artistic interests lay in the same subjects. Exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, and was the subject of of a one-man exhibition at the Greatorex Galleries in 1937 and 1938 in London. The artist captured the mood of the country sporting circles at the time very nicely, exploring both the social element in addition to equine and ornithological studies. He also authored a book; "The Silent Horn - Summer Sketches of Horse...
