John Aldridge RA (1905-1983)
Still Life Painted at El Porche, Deja, Majorca 1932
Oil on board
74 x 62cm
Signed ‘John Aldridge’ lower right and titled to reverse.
Aldridge read Greats at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and then moved to London in 1928 and taught himself to paint. From 1931 to 1933 he exhibited with the Seven and Five Society at the Leicester Galleries and in 1934 he exhibited at the Venice Biennale. At this time he began his life-long association with the poet Robert Graves and the poets and artists who centred themselves on him in the village of Deia in Majorca.
In 1933 he moved to Place House in Great Bardfield with his cats. He became a friend of his neighbour Edward Bawden, and the two collaborated during the 1930s on Bardfield wallpapers, distributed by Cole & Sons. During the War, Aldridge served in the Intelligence Corps, interpreting aerial photographs. Following the war he returned to Great Bardfield and painted scenes of the Essex countryside, and also of Majorca. By this period, his early association with the avant garde of British art had been lost; today, his rural scenes are very popular but arguably lack the complexity of his earlier works, such as this contemplative still life.
His art is in major public collections such as the Tate, the British Council, the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Academy and the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Fry Art Gallery in Saffron Walden, which specialises in East Anglian pictures, has a significant holding of his work.
Condition: generally very good. Distressed frame with occasional loss, and hardboard substrate bowed.

- Bryan Ingham: Upright Jug oil abstract paintingBy Bryan InghamLocated in London, GBTo 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) Upright Jug (1993-95) Pencil and oil on board 64 x 19 cm Provenance: Bohun Galleries, Paintings in Hospitals. Signed, titled and dated 1993-95 (on backboard). 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...Category
