About the Item

Spanish Market is an Original Painting by Eleanor Woolley. This painting is inspired by recent trips to Spanish markets in Malaga, the dozens of people in bright clothes and a washed out sunny feel. The Artist's love of shadows and contrast is pictured here with the use of impasto technique, the layering of the paint to give a rich and textured surface. The scene is one of a Spanish town on market day, many people layered over on another, with long blue and lavender shadows reaching into the foreground. A churches steeple and whitewashed buildings make up the skyline. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Oil Paint on Canvas 30 H x 30.02 W x 2 D cm (11.81 x 11.82 x 0.79 in) Sold unframed Image size: Height: 30cm (11.81 in) Width: 30cm (11.81 in) Complete size of unframed painting Height: 30cm (11.81 in) Width: 30.02cm (11.82 in) Depth: 2cm (0.79 in) ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Eleanor Woolley was born on the Island of Jersey, and moved to Gloucestershire where she was drawn to the outdoors, always taking walks in the landscape. Her first true love for painting came from an inspirational Art teacher at Haberdashers Monmouth School for Girls where she started painting in Oils at thirteen years old. Here she learnt to paint using classic oil painting techniques, and was drawn to the figure from early life drawing lessons. During this period she was fortunate enough to work under Mary Fedden in her studio and with Portrait Sculptor Peter Lambda with whom she further developed her technique and composition. After gaining her BA Hons in Sculpture at Leeds University Eleanor travelled for some time in Asia before coming home to study Furniture making. Eleanor worked as a Cabinet maker and a Restorer before returning to Fine Art painting. Eleanor’s inspiration is taken from her surroundings where she has a love for the every day things, often passed by without a second thought. Eleanor’s paintings are vibrant, often painted Plein air and finished in the studio. Starting with bold outlines, many layers of paint are used to create the depth of colour. Her paintings are spontaneous, using washes of oil to create the desired form. Often finishing with a palette knife producing a pleasing texture. Her current work is inspired by the landscape of the Cotswolds, and contrasted with long shadows created by figures in urban landscapes.

20th Century German Modernist Oil Painting colourful Figures in Street
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Artist: Elisabeth Hahn (German 1924-2021), Elisabeth Hahn was born in Dortmund, Germany, where she began her artistic studies. In 1953, she moved to Paris. She continued her studies at the Beaux-Arts in the workshops of Jean Souverbie and Edmond Heuzé, between 1954 and 1959. Since 1962, she has exhibited regularly at the Salons de L'Art Libre, Salon de L'Union des Artistes, and in major Parisian galleries: Galerie Raymond-Creuze, Galerie Cimaise de Paris and Galerie Everarts. She also exhibited regularly in Germany, including in Dortmund and Königswinter-Oberpleis. In her paintings, which tend to be figurative, she always tries to put color and line at the service of the subject, eliminating all the details that could be detrimental to the overall expression. Elisabeth Hahn's painting fully deserves to be rediscovered again. Title: Figures in Street...
