About the Item

Sue Macartney-Snape Watercolor painting (with highlights of gold metallic paint) titled on label "Goodwood Races" Signed with initials verso. Info on label verso Dimensions: H 38.75" x W 31" (Sight) H 30" x W 22.5" (being sold unframed) Goodwood Racecourse is a horse-racing track five miles north of Chichester, West Sussex, in England controlled by the family of the Duke of Richmond, whose seat is nearby Goodwood House. Sue Mccartney Snape was born in Tanzania and brought up in Australia. She now lives and paints in London and is the award winning artist and illustrator of the 'Social Stereotypes' column in the Saturday Telegraph. Sue has been the Saturday Telegraph Magazine's illustrator for over 15 years, and has a reputation as the finest in her field. With her limited edition lithograph prints selling worldwide, she is a household name, and has been acclaimed as 'the P.G. Wodehouse of art' Social commentator Sue Macartney-Snape has been illuminating English life with her dart-like wit and observatory skills in the column ‘Social Stereotypes’, carrying on the grand old tradition of mordant English satire. She is a master of caricature and her limited-edition prints of British social stereotypes are brilliant, whimsical, and amusing. She shows us misfits and ultrafits, but always with affection. Sue Macartney-Snape has the ability to observe the day to day and the humorous side of life. Her intriguing observations reveal the hideous and glorious nature of English Eccentricities. Travel writer and television personality John Julius Norwich calls Macartney-Snape a "master of caricature" and says her paintings and limited edition prints "illustrate the English social scene more brilliantly and with greater accuracy than those of any other painter working today." Her work is similar to Jules Feiffer, Ronald Searle, Quentin Blake and Al Hirschfeld. It is with a keen eye and a quick wit that Sue Macartney-Snape makes observations of British life. The subtle removal of a small bound drawing book from her bag or pocket would be a signal to the astute passerby. It's withdrawal indicates that Sue may have noticed an unusual expression, or an amusing vignette - and is about to record it with well-pointed precision. Those glaringly obvious foibles which we and our contemporaries try to hide are presented by Sue C in typical characteristic humour. She hones in on what makes the British so uniquely quirky. Rushing about our day to day lives, we may notice the happy-go-lucky lady cyclist, dog in basket, off to the church luncheon. Indeed, we may come home to a dear husband or wife, snoring gently in their favourite chair, cat on lap and dogs sprawled around feet. Sue Macartney-Snape art prints reopen our eyes to these sights and allows us to rediscover the quintessential British comedy to be found on our very doorstep.n A highly perceptive social observer. Her paintings "illustrate the English social scene more brilliantly and with greater accuracy than those of any other painter working today." John Julius Norwich. Nine books of her original stereotypes have been published since 1994 and hundreds of thousands of copies have been sold. Sue won the 2004 Pont Award for drawing the British character. She has had sell out exhibitions with The Sloane Club and has had many commissions, including ones from Glyndebourne, The Metropolitan Opera and Barbara Amiel - wife of Lord Conrad Black.
