About the Item

This superb British town landscape oil painting is by noted artist Ethelbert White. Painted circa 1940, the composition is along the river towards the bridge over the river Avon in Bradford upon Avon. The bridge replaced the broad ford over the river that gave the town its name, although the location of the original ford is not known with certainty. In the foreground, before the bridge are the wonderful reflections of the bridge and blue sky in the water. Beyond the bridge is the industrial side of Bradford with a tall red chimney remaining - Bradford was famous for its wool and cotton mills and weavers houses, the mills powered by the water from the river. The colours and detail are superb and this is an excellent example of White's work and of Bradford on Avon's history. Signed lower right. Provenance. Wiltshire estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 24 inches by 19 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a complementary frame, 31 inches by 26 inches, in good condition. Ethelbert White (1891-1979) was born in Isleworth, Middlesex. In 1911 he studied St. John's Wood Art School under Leonard Walker, a watercolourist who also achieved much acclaim for his beautiful decorative stained glass windows. In 1911 he married Elizabeth Crofton Dodwell, also known as Betty. The couple shared a liking for a simple and unconventional way of life, full of fun, friendship, music and travel. Lived in a little 18th century cottage in Hampstead Grove, Camden. Travelled around countryside in their gypsy caravan 'Reading', Ethelbert producing paintings of village life and Betty playing the lute. The couple became very popular and attracted social gatherings. Befriended Mark Gertler and C.R.W.Nevinson. White exhibited at London Group and New English Arts Club from 1916. First one man show at Paterson and Carfax Gallery in 1921. Was a regular exhibitor at the RA and RWS. Memorial exhibition at the Fine Art Society in 1979. His work is represented in many public collections.
