Robert Sadler
Mid 20th Century abstract landscape by British artist Robert Sadler

1962

About the Item

Robert Sadler (British, 1909 – 2001) Rural abstract 1962 Oil on board Signed ‘Sadler’ (lower right) 12.3/4 x 30.3/8 in. (32.3 x 77.3 cm.) Robert Sadler was born 1909 in Newmarket, Suffolk as the second son of a racehorse trainer. Learning to draw and paint as a child, he exhibited great promise. Dedication to his artistic career wouldn’t start, however, until retirement from his illustrious career in the RAF in 1955. Sadler had drawn and painted throughout his military service, but it is upon retirement that he attributed to “devote the rest of my life to painting”. Initially living in his hometown of Newmarket to be close to his elderly mother, he created most of his large and more exciting abstract expressionist works during this period. He moved on in 1964 to Aldeburgh, Suffolk where he built his studio and began painting mainly smaller landscapes (as if seen from a low flying aircraft), still lifes, figures and sometimes horses, but often turned to the abstract expressionism for which he is best known. He consistently held solo studio exhibitions every year here as part of the Aldeburgh Festival between 1965 and the year of his death in 2001. He exhibited internationally in the most esteemed galleries over the course of his artistic life and his work is held across numerous collections.
