About the Item

Oil on board, signed and dated 1968 verso Image size: 23 x 36 inches (58.5 x 92 cm) Original gilt frame Evan Charlton was born in London. He studied at London University from 1923 to 1927, and then at the Slade School of Fine Arts in 1930, graduating in 1933.Charlton moved to Bristol to begin a teaching career and became head of Cardiff School of Art in 1938. He combined this role with that of official war artist during World War II. Charlton took part in a number of group exhibitions during his lifetime, mainly in Wales. These included the Royal National Eisteddfod, WAC and the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. He also held a series of one-man shows, including at the Welsh Gallery in Abergavenny in 1973. Following his death in 1984, a memorial show was held by the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff, where some of his works are still on display.  He is best known for his surreal portrayals of landscapes and interiors. The meticulous detail and extremely fine feathery brushwork of his mature work meant that he completed only three or four paintings a year, ensuring that the total number of his works is very small.  Museums Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea, National Museum of Wales,Tate Britain, Welsh Arts Council, Imperial War Museum, University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology, Newport Museum and Art Gallery, National Library of Wales and Contemporary Art Society for Wales.

He also sketched outdoors to capture nature.  It was only from 1861 that he could continue to devote himself to art. He first went to Munich and the artist colony in Brannenburg , where he painted landscapes and got to know local painters, including Carl Irmer , Wilhelm Busch , Julius Rollmann and Louis Hugo Becker . In 1863 he went to Düsseldorf, where he met the landscape painter Louis Hugo Becker, moving in the milieu of the Düsseldorf School. With his artist friends and paint box in hand, they worked from self-study and frequent trips to Upper Bavaria , Thuringia and particularly Westphalia.  Among his circle of friends in Düsseldorf were Gustav Süs, Karl Bertling, Eduard Geselschap, Abert Baur, Eugen Dücker...

Portrait of Stanley Bate, 20th Century Musician
Located in London, GB
Oil on canvas Image size: 24 x 29 inches (61 x 73.5 cm) Contemporary style gilt frame Provenance From the estate of the artist, Clara Klinghoffer This portrait is by an artist who propelled rapidly into the limelight after her first solo exhibition in 1920, at the age of 19, with the Daily Graphic naming her as the 'Girl Who Draws Like Raphael'. Yet today Clara Klinghoffer's name is little know. Klinghoffer's early success resulted in numerous portrait commissions, including this one of the English composer Stanley Bate. The bold use of colour and naive execution of this portrait clearly reveals the modernist influence of fellow Jewish artists such as Bernard Meninsky, Jacob Kramer and Mark Gertler...
