Ronald Olley
Ronald Olley (b.1923) - Signed & Framed c. 2000 Oil, Horses Slain in Mud

Unknown

About the Item

An arresting and dramatic oil by the British listed artist Ronald Olley (b.1923), portraying a fallen horse on the battlefield, with a soldier at its side. The scene is characteristic of the First World War, and the artist's research and personal experience of war is evident. Flames lick the ground in the distance, and the use of a layered palette adds texture and definition. The framing of the subject is suggestive of the desolate surroundings, and the overall work conveys both the physical and emotional impact of the war years, on both men and helpless animals. Well-presented in an unpainted light wooden frame, as shown. With a label inscribed 'Horses Shot, Too Tired Merely to Stir...Slain by Mud (Ivor Gurney)' Signed. On canvas.

Pilgrims Waiting at the Gate, Women in the Arts, Hope and Wisdom, Oil, Nature
By Jeanie Tomanek
Located in Houston, TX
Pilgrims Waiting at the Gate shows that flowers, birds and snow are symbols for emotional states or story elements. Dogs sometimes accompany the pale bald “Everywoman” protagonist on her journeys that often take place beneath a starry moonlit sky. She has been called a mythic artist, telling ancient stories that never grow old. Pilgrims are beneath the Moon approaching the Gate as seen in Pilgrims at the Gate in the oil painting on canvas. LOOK FOR 1STDIBS DISCOUNT CODE ON SHIPPING OR GALLERY QUOTE The artists says: "I love to show the strength and optimistic attributes of women. Even when they are in a quandary or in danger, I always try to show a glimmer of hope and wisdom—that they will solve the riddle and make it through, stronger and with dignity. Being bald and shorn of any particular identity, they become all women.” She is also a published poet and her paintings have appeared as cover art for literary journals and poetry collections. Recently her painting “Thoreau’s Pumpkin” was included in the Hudson River Museum...
