Tom Carr
Braes of Derwent Hunt, drawing by Tom Carr

About the Item

Tom Carr (1909-1999) Braes of Derwent Hunt Pencil drawing 25 x 22 cm Thomas Carr OBE was an Irish artist. He was associated with the Euston Road School in the 1930s and had a long career as a painter of domestic scenes and landscapes. He studied at the Slade School of Art before moving to Italy to spend a year in Settignano, near Florence. Upon his return to London, Carr established himself as a painter and was exhibited at various well-known galleries of the time, including Zwemmer Gallery and Storran Gallery. Carr enjoyed success throughout his career and despite having settled in Newcastle, County Down in 1939, he regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy and was a member of the Royal Ulster Academy, the New English Art Club, the Royal Watercolour Society. Carr was awarded the MBE in 1974 and received an OBE in 1993 for his services to art in Northern Ireland. This pencil drawing is likely a study for one of his paintings of the Braes of Derwent Hunt, and therefore occupies a unique place in his oeuvre, showing the artistic processes behind his work.
