David Forrester Wilson
Summer Haze, Early 20th Century Original Oil

About the Item

David Forrester Wilson 1873 - 1950 "Summer Haze" Oil on canvas, signed lower left Image size: 18 x 24 inches Original gilt frame David Forrester Wilson's sensitive portrayal of a young girl, deep in thought, in the midst of a lush meadow with rolling fields stretching into the distance. David Forrester Wilson studied at the Glasgow School of Arts from 1892-3 and 1899-1906 under the Belgian Symbolist, Jean Delville; he ultimately become the institution's Head of Drawing and Painting in 1932. Forrester Wilson's work ranged from aesthetic, symbolist experiments to naturalist landscapes, revealing influences as diverse as Delville, the Glasgow Boys, James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Jules Bastien-Lepage. A frequent exhibitor at the Royal Glasgow Institute throughout his career, in 1919 and throughout the 1920s Rather incongruously, Wilson was reportedly one of Andy Warhol's favourite artists. One of his works, 'The Wind', was included in the estate sale held by Sotheby's in 1988, and Warhol also had several of his other works.

  • A Boxing Tournament RA Artist, British Oil, Major Sporting Event
    By Anna Katrina Zinkeisen
    Located in London, GB
    Anna Zinkeisen 1901-1976 A Boxing Tournment Oil on canvas, signed lower right Image size: 29 x 36.5 inches (73 x 93 cm) Original hand made frame A Boxing Tournament is a vivid and impactful snapshot of a professional boxing match from the late 1920s/1930s. It depicts the Len Harvey vs. ‘Kid’ Nitram fight held at the Royal Albert Hall on 19th January 1928, which Zinkeisen went to watch. The umpire of this match was the well-known Sam Russell. Here, Russell is seen wearing a dinner jacket as well as a shirt - an indication that this was a match in a professional tournament. Both Len Harvey and 'Kid' Nitram were esteemed boxers. Harvey boxed at every weight division available at the time, from flyweight to heavyweight and became the light-heavyweight and heavyweight champion of the British Empire. During the Second World War Harvey joined the Royal Air Force as an officer. Anna enjoyed noticeable publicity from the painting at the time. She appeared in photographs, alongside her sketches for the painting, in numerous newspapers including The Daily Mail (31st January 1928) and The Sketch (8th February 1928). This painting is featured in Highly Desirable: The Zinkeisen Sisters & Their Legacy by Philip Kellaway, page 178 (Leiston Press, 2008). The Artist Anna Zinkeisen was born at Kilcreggan, Dumbartonshire on 29 August 1901, the daughter of Victor Zinkeisen, a timber merchant, and his wife Clare. In 1901 the family moved to Middlesex. Anna and her sister Doris attended Harrow School of Art before they both won scholarships to the Royal Academy Schools, where Anna studied sculpture from 1916-1921, winning several medals. She received a commission for some plaques from the Wedgwood company and although her designs were awarded a silver medal at the Exposition des Art Decoratifs in Paris in 1925, she decided to specialise in portrait painting and mural work. In 1935, Anna and her sister Doris Zinkeisen were commissioned by John Brown & Co. (Shipbuilders of Clydebank) to paint the murals in the Verandah Grill of the famous ocean liner the RMS Queen Mary. Their work can still be seen on the ship, now permanently moored in Long Beach, California. They also painted murals for the Queen Elizabeth. In 1941, during World War II, the Zinkeisen sisters were both employed as war artists for the North West Europe Commission of the Joint War Organisation of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St John...
