About the Item

Bernard Myers (British, 1925 – 2007) Red Peonies Pastel on paper Signed ‘B. Myers’ (lower left) 24 x 31.3/4 in. (61 x 80.7 cm.) (including frame) From the estate of Bernard Myers Bernard Myers was a significant voice in post-war British art, celebrated for his expressive use of colour, intuitive handling of materials, and deeply personal approach to traditional subjects. Trained at the Royal College of Art, Myers belonged to a generation that reimagined still life and landscape painting in the wake of European modernism, developing a language that was both lyrical and boldly direct. This work, titled Red Peonies, is a striking example of Myers’ mastery of pastel. Signed ‘B. Myers’ at the lower left and measuring 24 x 31.75 inches (61 x 80.7 cm, including frame), the drawing radiates with warmth and immediacy. The velvety richness of the medium captures the lush forms and saturated hues of the peonies, while Myers’ gestural marks and sensitive line give the composition a vivid sense of life and movement. The piece comes from the estate of Bernard Myers, offering a rare opportunity to acquire an original work from the artist’s personal studio collection. Red Peonies stands as a testament to Myers’ enduring fascination with colour, texture, and the beauty of everyday subjects rendered with emotional depth. Myers exhibited widely during his lifetime, and his work is held in numerous private and institutional collections throughout the UK. His legacy continues to resonate through a body of work that reflects both technical skill and poetic insight.
