About the Item

J. C. Kim Rainbow Prism 20 x 25 cm 1946 Provenance: Family of A. E. Halliwell Little is known about J. C. Kim beyond the fact that he studied under A E Halliwell, though the fact that Halliwell collected this painting suggests that he thought highly of his student. Calling to mind Pink Floyd's later iconic album cover, this painting features a prism refracting white starlight into a multicolour rainbow of light. The contrast between the monochrome black, grey and white palette and the shock of rainbow colour is striking, leaving a striking impression on the viewer.

Bryan Ingham: Erotisches Bild abstract modernist oil painting
By Bryan Ingham
Located in London, GB
To see our other Modern British Art, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller" - or send us a message if you cannot find the artist you want. Bryan Ingham (1936-1997) Erotisches Bild (1988) Oil on board 62 x 11 cm Provenance: Fracis Graham-Dixon gallery. Titled to backboard and dated 1988. Bryan Ingham was born in Yorkshire. For his National Service he joined the RAF, and spent his time in Germany as an airman. After demobilisation, his final report included the statement that "Ingham is an artistic sort of airman." In his spare time he had started painting in oils, and by the time he left the RAF he had completed a large number of paintings. He studied at St Martin's School of Art in London, where he had the tuition of a fine post-war generation of teachers who helped him to hone his draughtsmanship and other skills, and he swiftly showed a capacity for painting that drew the attention of his tutors and peers. On graduating he was offered and accepted a post-graduate place at the Royal College of Art, where in his second year he was awarded a Royal Scholarship and was a contemporary of a number of now better-known names including David Hockney. Ingham applied for and received a Leverhulme travel award to explore the sites of the great Renaissance painters, and spent many happy months engaged in this expedition. He spent time at the English Art school...
