Edward Seago
Twentieth Century Watercolour Portrait and Equine Study

1939

About the Item

Twentieth Century Watercolour Portrait and Equine Study showing Clowns and Circus Horses. This is highly typical of one of the important strands of Edward Seago's work - he was fascinated by the Circus and by the Travelling community. Edward Seago is a giant of 20th Century British paintings. He was collected by the Queen Mother, the Duke of Edinburgh and he taught King Charles to paint. His work is in numerous worldwide collections and his prices can go to over a hundred thousand for his more sought after works. In the 1930's, Seago like a lot of other artists at that time, for example, Laura Knight and Alfred Munnings became captivated by the Gypsy Travellers and the Circus, he made many paintings and studies and in fact published 2 books in the 30's of this work. This is a delightful study showing the Circus performers and he achieves so much expression with very few strokes of the brush. It is all there to see in the face of the clown and the horse reared up on his back legs, a captivating little study by one of the great draughtsmen of the 20th century.

Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to developed an interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, including the one presented here, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolor allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolor technique and her extensive botanical knowledge Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee...
