About the Item

Eric Henri Kennington R.A. 1888-1960, was an English artist, sculptor and illustrator. He served as an official war artist in both World Wars, he was born in London and was a member of the Royal Academy and the New English Art Club, his time as a war artist was spent mainly drawing and painting portraits of servicemen, officers and the ranks also. He met and was influenced by T.E. Lawrence and was responsible for numerous illustrations in Lawrence's book Seven Pillars of Wisdom. He produced a large number of public sculptures during the 1930's, as a well known artist he was in demand for painting the most famous people of the time. This painting depicts a row of houses in Brunswick Square Gardens in central London, the houses were the homes of very famous artistic people and scholars, E.M. Forster, Virginia and Leonard Woolf , Forster lived at No. 27 until at least 1915 he also lived at no. 26 at a later date. The row of houses were demolished in 1926, and I suspect this was painted by Kennington for one of his friends as a reminder of their mutual love of the position, a small tree lined landscape in the middle of London, and suffering no damage during the War, but finding it being demolished thereafter. A blue plaque now marks the position of the house now, the house was registered in the name of Adrian Stephen until 1915, he was known to all the occupants.
