Bloomfield Road (No.17, London W9 - 20th Century Oil Painting with House + Trees

About the Item

Adrian Daintrey was born in Balham, London on 23 June 1902, the youngest of three children of Ernest Daintrey, a solicitor and his wife Lucy Mary (née Blagdon). He was educated at Charterhouse School, where he developed his artistic skills, at the Slade School of Fine Art under Henry Tonks from 1920 to 1924. His favourite professor was known to be Wilson Steer who told him "Well you cn't do better than the old Masters: we all know that." Daintrey would often sit and copy paintings in the National Gallery, where became good friends with Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell. He then moved to the École du Louvre and L'Académie de la Grande Chaumière, Paris. He gathered a wide circle of friends including the artists Augustus John, Nina Hamnett and Rex Whistler. He shared his first exhibition with Paul Nash at Dorothy Warren's Gallery in 1928. During World War II, he served widely abroad. After the war he held shows at his studio to promote his work. He worked for Punch magazine with his friend Anthony Powell as an art critic from 1953 to 1961. From the late 1960s he taught part-time at the City and Guilds of London Art School. He died in Islington in 1988, having resided at the Charterhouse almshouse as a Brother from 1984-1988. His obituary provides an insight into Daintrey's gregarious and romantic personality.

Wiltshire Streams, Pink Moon, 2023 - Green Contemporary Landscape Oil Painting
By Tim Woolcock
Located in Kingsclere, GB
Tim Woolcock was born in Lancashire, though his family originates from St Just-in-Penwith in Cornwall, where the artist spent many summers. He now lives part of the year on his farm in County Carlow, Ireland, where his studio is located. Between 1963 and 1970 Tim attended Arnold School in Blackpool and regularly visited the Grundy Art Gallery in the town. In 1971, he began his studies in to study Philosophy and Art at the Roehampton Institute, University of London. After graduating, Tim stayed in London to teach for twelve years. Tim's painting clearly shows his inspiration from Modern British painters, particularly the traditions of the 1950s and St Ives Schools. As with landscape painters of the earlier twentieth century, such as Paul Nash and Evelyn Dunbar, Tim's landscapes have a somewhat mystical quality and at times approach abstraction. The simplicity and geometry found in work of the St Ives School - so important to the development of Modern British art - is a particular inspiration, with artists such as Patrick Heron, William Scott and Ben Nicholson being most key in his development, though Tim's paintings have a strength and clarity all their own. A knowledge of Zen and understanding of the natural world is reflected in his work, 'I have been greatly influenced by Zen writers, some who have said that the real aim of art is purposeless - not to be confused with a nihilistic approach - in 'Zen and The...
