Simon Lewty
Simon Lewty, Visions of a non-resident

1988

About the Item

An extraordinary work from an extraordinary mind expressed through unique imagery, poetry and calligraphy. Simon Lewty (1941-2021) Visions of a non-resident Signed and dated 1988 and titled verso Ink, crayon and acrylic on tissue paper 31½ x 41½ inches (excluding frame) Simon Lewty born in Sutton Coldfield in 1941. He attended Mid-Warwickshire School of Art (1957–1960), Hornsey College of Art (1961–1963). He worked as a lecturer at the Mid-Warwickshire College of Further Education, (1964–1981), before living and working in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire and in Swanage, Dorset. ​ After resigning his teaching post to devote himself to his art, he was given solo shows at the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, in 1984, and at the Serpentine in London the following year. These caught the eye of critics and soon his work was being acquired by the Arts Council, the British Museum and the V&A, as well as by museums across the Midlands. Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery also invited him to select objects from its holdings to exhibit alongside his own paintings. With his reputation established, he was taken on by the art dealer Anne Berthoud and subsequently by Art First.

  • Early 19th Century English watercolour of woodland near Croxdale Hall
    Located in Harkstead, GB
    A very attractive and meticulously executed view of a rocky landscape within the woods dating to 1823. This would suit a library or study with its muted tones and skifull draughtsmanship. William Nicholson (1781-1844) Near Croxdale Hall Signed with initials and inscribed with title and date 1823 Pen, ink and grey wash 11 x 8 inches, image only 17 x 13 inches without frame The portrait-painter and etcher William Nicholson was born in Ovingham-on-Tyne, Northumberland, on Christmas Day 1781. His family transferred to Newcastle when his father was appointed Headmaster of the city's Grammar School. At an early age, though, Nicholson appears to have moved to Hull where he made his artistic debut, painting miniatures of officers garrisoned there. He was almost entirely self-taught, learning his craft through the close study of artworks in private and public galleries. He subsequently returned to Newcastle where he received many commissions to paint portraits of the old families of Northumberland. In 1808, he began to exhibit at the Royal Academy, continuing to do so until 1822. By 1814, Nicholson, whose mother was a Scot, had moved to Edinburgh where he set up as a miniaturist and painter in oils. Soon, however, he began to specialize in watercolour portraits. Early subjects included the actor Daniel Terry and the poet and novelist James Hogg. In 1818 he began to publish a series of Portraits of Eminent Scotsmen, etched from his own portraits and those of other painters. Besides Scott and Hogg, the subjects included the writers Robert Burns, John Wilson ('Christopher North'), and Lord Jeffrey, the painters Sir Henry Raeburn, the divines Alexander Carlyle and Alexander Cameron, the engineer James Watt, the architect John Playfair, and the song-collector and composer George Thomson...
