Hugh Boycott Brown
Hugh Boycott Brown, Impressionist view of boats at Pin Mill. Suffolk

About the Item

A fluidly painted impression of this well known sailors' haven at Pin Mill on the River Orwell, Suffolk. Hugh Boycott Brown (1909-1990) Thames Barge at Pin Mill Signed and inscribed with title verso Oil on canvas, laid down on board 10 x 14 inches unframed 13 x 17 inches framed Provenance: Christies, London Belgrave Gallery, London A painter and teacher, born in Bushey, Hertfordshire, where his father Allan Robert Brown was art master at the Royal Masonic School. Several other members of the family were artists (including Hugh’s brothers Michael, whose surname used a hyphen, and Robert Brown). Boycott Brown learned from his father and studied at the Margaret Frobisher School, Bushey. In 1929 he began teaching at Royal Masonic Junior School, but he continued his studies in the evenings at Watford School of Art; during holidays studied at Heatherley’s School under Frederic Whiting and Bernard Adams; and during the 1930s was much encouraged by Sir John Arnesby Brown. By then Boycott Brown had begun his association with the East Anglian coast, a major theme in his work, although he also painted a lot abroad. Catching fleeting effects of light and colour, especially sky effects, were the artist’s strong point, using small panels and oils. In 1947 Boycott Brown bought a cottage in Blakeney, Norfolk, where he lived permanently after retiring in 1970. Later exhibitions included Southwell Brown Gallery, Richmond, 1985; Belgrave Gallery, 1986; and in 1991 there was a memorial show at Abbott and Holder.

"The Lake & Plaza Hotel New York" Impressionist Oil Painting in Central Park
By Johann Berthelsen, 1883-1972
Located in New York, NY
A stunning jewel and pertinent example of Berthelsen's charming New York City scenes. Here we find a The Plaza hotel and the Manhattan buildings depicted in the far background with pops of colors shinning through the lights and magic of the city. The artist was truly a master of capturing New York in all of its glory throughout the seasons. This piece is executed whimsically, yet dramatically evoking an emotion of wonder and beauty. This piece is signed lower right by the artist and it also bears the reproduction right's stamp on the reverse. It is titled on the back and it comes housed in a beautiful French giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 6.5 x 8 inches Frame measures 12 x 14 inches Johann Berthelsen was born in Copenhagen in 1883, the 7th of seven children, to Conrad and Dorothea Karen Berthelsen. His parents were involved in artistic and professional circles. In 1890, his mother brought the children to America, settling in Manistee, Michigan, with her sister's family. They would eventually move to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a city on the shore of Lake Michigan. As a teenager, Johann was actively involved in choirs and singing groups. And he always loved to draw and paint, and while he was too impatient to take well to schoolwork, and never went beyond the 5th grade. Although he worked in several trades, Johann's mind and heart were always with the arts. As his voice matured, he also always wanted to be an actor, and at the age of 18 moved to Chicago where he reconnected with an old friend who was studying voice at the Chicago Musical...
