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.

- London Costmongers, Urban 20th Century English OilLocated in London, GBAttributed to Mary Adshead 1904 - 1995 London Costmongers Oil on canvas Image size: 30 x 36 inches Framed Costermongers were London people that sold fruit and veg and other ‘perishables’ from barrows. Often wheeling and then stationing their barrow on the street, so their customers could easily come and buy from them. Costermongers were fiercely independent, rebellious in their dress and outlook, and had little time for ‘middle class moralising’ and attempts to suppress or restrict their way of life. (Much like modern teenagers) The men depicted stop work for a break with cups of tea and a few read the newspapers. Next to the man with the yellow apron can be seen some cakes on a plate. A work place , a factory can be seen in the distance on the right. It is possible that the painting depicts a cabmen's shelter, as some did serve outside and many still survive today in London. The style of the painting is very much that of a student of the Slade School in London and has similarities with other artists work such as James Batemen or Herbert Ashwin Budd. On the back of the painting it has in chalk the name 'Rhoades', which could refer to the artist Geoffrey Hamilton Rhoades...Category

- Reclining Nude, 20th Century OilBy James StroudleyLocated in London, GBJames Stroudley 1906 -1985 Reclining Nude Oil on canvas, signed lower left Image size: 17 x 25 inches Original frame James Stroudley was born in London on 17 June 1906, the son of James Stroudley, showcard and ticket writer. He studied at Clapham School of Art (1923-27) and then at the Royal College of Art (1927-30), where his teachers included Alan Gwynne-Jones and William Rothenstein. As a recipient of the first Abbey Scholarship he was able to spend three years in Italy from 1930, where he absorbed the influences of Giotto and Piero della Francesca, and produced one of the last wholly satisfying decorative cycles by a Rome Scholar of the period. From 1934, he exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, and was elected to its membership in the following year. From the Second World War – in which he worked with the Camouflage Unit – Stroudley taught at St Martin’s School of Art and was a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy Schools. Though he continued to live in London, his later work, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1955, indicated regular painting trips to Kent and Sussex coasts. However, much of his later work was abstract. In 1971, his former student, Peter Coker...Category
