About the Item

Spring Flowers, Oil on Board by Dorothea Sharp Additional information: Medium: Oil on Board 50.8 x 40.6 cm 20 x 16 in Signed Dorothea Sharp was born in Kent and is best known for her landscapes and naturalistic studies of children. She studied at the Regent Street Polytechnic and also in Paris, where she studied under Castaluchio. She was most infuenced by the work of Claude Monet, resulting in the highly impressionistic and spontaneous style that she was to adopt for the rest of her life. In 1903 she became an Associate of the Society of Women Artists, becoming a full member five years later. She was also elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1906 and 1923 respectively. Sharp exhibited at The Royal Academy from 1901-1948 and lived for most of her life in London. She held her first one-woman show at the Connell Gallery in 1933. Influenced by the work of the Impressionists, the clarity of light, her unusual use of colour, and her free brushwork, all this combined, emphasized her significant role in the development of twentieth Century British art. Her works are now exhibited in museums throughout the world. Provenance Walker Galleries Ltd., 2013; Private Collection, London.

Study for Going to Bed Drawing, Pencil on Paper by Stanley Spencer, 1935
By Stanley Spencer
Located in Kingsclere, GB
Study for Going to Bed Drawing, Pencil on Paper by Stanley Spencer, 1935 Additional information: Medium: Drawing, Pencil on Paper 54.6 x 63.5 cm 21 1/2 x 25 in This is a study for a painting featured in Spencer’s nine picture series, ‘Domestic Scenes’ (1935), throughout which the artist nostalgically reflected on and reimagined the marriage to his then-wife, Hilda Carline, following their separation after ten years together. Indeed, letters show that Hilda began divorce proceedings while the series was being produced, in part owing to Spencer’s infatuation with young artist Patricia Preece, who lived in Cookham alongside her partner Dorothy Hepworth. Spencer married Preece a week after the divorce was finalized, but the marriage was disastrous and his subsequent endeavors to reconcile with Hilda were also unsuccessful, although he did continue to visit her regularly until her death in 1950. Spencer saw the Domestic Scenes series as preparation for his 1953 painting ‘The Marriage of Cana’, a depiction of Christ’s first miracle, the turning of water into wine as described in St John’s Gospel, with the bride and groom reimagined as Stanley and Hilda. This study has been exhibited widely, including at the opening exhibition of the Stanley Spencer Gallery, Cookham in 1962 and in the Royal Academy’s 1980 retrospective ‘Stanley Spencer: RA’. The completed painting, ‘Domestic Scenes: Going to Bed’ (1936) was included in the Barbican Art Gallery’s 1991 exhibition ‘Stanley Spencer: The Apotheosis of Love’, curated by John Toole...
