Richard Eurich
Sun and Rain, 1980 - 20th Century Light Grey and White Seascape Oil Painting

1980

About the Item

Richard Eurich was a painter and draughtsman who took as his principal theme the sea, ships, ports and beach life. Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, Eurich’s skill in painting was nurtured early on at Bradford Grammar School before being accepted to study at Bradford School of Art (1920-24). His first solo show was in 1929 at the Goupil Gallery, London, and was followed by annual exhibitions at the Redfern Gallery throughout the 1930s and ‘40s. Here he exhibted mostly paintings of coastal towns he had visited along the South, including Newlyn, West Bay and Lyme Regis. Eurich was appointed as an Official War Artist for the Admiralty throughout much of the Second World War, during which time he painted Survivors from a Torpedoed Ship, now in the Tate Collection. After the war, Eurich took a teaching post at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts before settling for many years at Dibden Purlieu, near Southampton. He was elected a Member of the Royal Academy in 1953 and exhibited there for much of his life. Eurich's work generally depicted everyday events, though with an element of decidedly English oddness, as in his picture The Mummers, in Hove Museum of Art. His work was included in exhibitions at Tooth and Sons (1968-74), Fine Arts Society (1977, '83 and '91) and Agnews (1985 and '88). An important retrospective exhibition of Eurich's work was held at Bradford Art Gallery and Museum (1979-80), which later toured the UK. After his death, a memorial exhibition entitled 'Visionary Artist' was presented at Southampton City Art Gallery in 1994, which also toured nationally. In 2003, the centenary of Eurich's birth was commemorated with another touring exhibition, organised by Helen Robinson of Bruton Gallery, that brought his paintings to Eurich's native Yorkshire, including the Wakefield Art Gallery. In the same year, there were also exhibitions at the Millais Gallery, Southampton Institute, Southampton Art Gallery, and Fine Art Society. Many institutions hold work by Eurich, both public and private, including The Imperial War Museum, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. Lund Humphries published a monograph on the artist in 2020.

Wiltshire Streams, Pink Moon, 2023 - Green Contemporary Landscape Oil Painting
By Tim Woolcock
Located in Kingsclere, GB
Tim Woolcock was born in Lancashire, though his family originates from St Just-in-Penwith in Cornwall, where the artist spent many summers. He now lives part of the year on his farm in County Carlow, Ireland, where his studio is located. Between 1963 and 1970 Tim attended Arnold School in Blackpool and regularly visited the Grundy Art Gallery in the town. In 1971, he began his studies in to study Philosophy and Art at the Roehampton Institute, University of London. After graduating, Tim stayed in London to teach for twelve years. Tim's painting clearly shows his inspiration from Modern British painters, particularly the traditions of the 1950s and St Ives Schools. As with landscape painters of the earlier twentieth century, such as Paul Nash and Evelyn Dunbar, Tim's landscapes have a somewhat mystical quality and at times approach abstraction. The simplicity and geometry found in work of the St Ives School - so important to the development of Modern British art - is a particular inspiration, with artists such as Patrick Heron, William Scott and Ben Nicholson being most key in his development, though Tim's paintings have a strength and clarity all their own. A knowledge of Zen and understanding of the natural world is reflected in his work, 'I have been greatly influenced by Zen writers, some who have said that the real aim of art is purposeless - not to be confused with a nihilistic approach - in 'Zen and The...

Paris, rue des Solitaires, oil painting by Pierre Coquet
Located in Montfort l’Amaury, FR
Paris, rue des Solitaires, oil painting by Pierre Coquet Reference number F489 The painting is framed with a natural oak floated frame. 65 x 50 cm (70 x 55 cm frame included) This work is painted with oil on a paper that is laid on a board and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. It is signed in the low right Paris is one of Pierre most important subjects. Pierre's Paris is always depicted in a grey atmosphere. Buildings are stylized but the city is recognizable with its typical grey galvanised steel and orange terracota chimneys. The composition here is a little atypical, as there is a certain symmetry between the top and bottom of the painting. You could almost turn it upside down, there's a kind of mirror effect. The support for the painting is a cardboard box salvaged from the art school where he taught (Corvisart-Paris). The students used it to protect their tables. Pierre kept them and painted on them, and we can see little drawings or annotations made by students who had fun scribbling on them. Provenance : Workshop of the artist (stamped and numbered on the back) About Pierre : Pierre Coquet (1926-2021) is a French painter who was born in Limas near Lyon, France. He entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon in 1942 and followed the teaching of Antoine Chartres, Henri Vielly and René Chancrin...
