About the Item

This is a watercolour by the artist Frank Archer, it is framed and glazed, very good condition with really bright fresh colours. It is also a very good representation of Gershwin, it is very obviously him! Frank Joseph Archer, RWS RE (1912-1995) As both a painter and printmaker, Frank Archer combined his talent as a draughtsman with a sensitive understanding of light. His early work was highly structured, being rooted in his experience of the British School at Rome. Later, his handling became looser and his approach more personal, as he absorbed the inspiration of historic stained glass and mosaics in order to produce vividly-coloured visual parallels to music. Though Archer continued to use some kinds of printmaking, his essential development was as a painter with a breadth of vision. He harnessed his love of the intense colour of mediaeval stained glass and Byzantine mosaics in order to create visual abstractions of favourite works of music. However, he worked concurrently in a figurative mode, depicting a range of musicians in performance, from orchestra to soloist, and sustaining an interest in landscape. Regular visits to Italy, and a trip to Ghana in 1970, provided further inspiration. Following his retirement from teaching in 1973, Archer bought a derelict school in a valley of the Brendon Hills, within Exmoor National Park. While there, he produced a large number of watercolours. Seven years later, he returned to Sussex, and eventually settled back in Eastbourne. The Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours elected him as a member (ARWS 1972, RWS 1976) and mounted retrospectives of his work at the Bankside Gallery (in 1990 and 1992).
