The Geologist, 20th Century British Oil Landscape Painting, 1968, Signed

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.

  • The Heat of Summer
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on board, signed on verso Image size: 31 1/2 x 25 inches (80 x 64 cm) Framed This is a wonderful work of Pointillism, a technique of painting where small, distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. This techniques relies on the ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to blend the colour spots into a fuller range of tones. The practice of Pointillism lies in sharp contrast to the traditional methods of blending pigments on a palette. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term 'Pointillism' was coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, but is now used without its earlier pejorative connotations. The Artist Kenneth Walch Born Wimbledon 1927. After school he moved to Australia in the early 1950’s and won a place at the National Gallery Art School in Melbourne where he studied under Murray Griffin until 1953 when he returned to England.

  • Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)
    By Jane Chapin
    Located in Cody, WY
    This is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...
