William Malherbe was a French Post Impressionist painter born in 1884. His success came in the 1930’s exhibiting at the gallery Durand Ruel, the famous Paris gallery who’s fortune had been made by backing the Impressionists.
Fleeing the Nazi’s in 1939 he immigrated to New York city exhibiting at the Corcoram Gallery in Washington DC. Here he was highly sort after and some of the examples shown come from this period. He later returned to France in 1948 and passed away in 1955.
His works are in the collection of the Musee d’Art Moderne in Paris amongst others. These particular examples may well have been from his family as a very large tranche of his work came up for auction recently. Each were of a particular high standard, not of the quality of previous offerings at auction. He may well have withheld works and shipped them from New York on his return to France for his own collection.

- Large Modern British, mid century oil painting of nude with braceletsLocated in Petworth, West SussexThis magnificent oil painting by Modern British artist Roy Spencer draws inspiration from avant-garde French artists such as Matisse and Raoul Dufy. This artwork strikingly exemplifies the strong connection between their styles. The piece is characterised by its vibrant colour palette, dynamic and decisive lines, and the unwavering, steady gaze of the subject. It exudes a profound sense of gravitas reminiscent of the works of the classic French masters from the early 20th century. The details of the work are: Roy Spencer (British, 1918 - 2006) Nude with bracelets Oil on board 35.1/2 x 29.1/2 in. (90.3 x 75.2 cm.) Born in Stamford, Lincolnshire, Spencer grew up in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and articled as an architectural pupil in 1936. During the war Spencer served with the Royal Engineers in Egypt and Italy, and it was during this time that he met John Stanton Ward, who became a life long friend. Often drawing together, Ward’s enthusiasm was inspirational and galvanising, and on demobilisation Spencer enrolled at Chelsea School of Art, whilst simultaneously teaching at Wimbledon. Upon finishing at Chelsea as a student he became a tutor there, working with Robert Medley, Raymond Coxon, Susan Einzig, Julian Trevelyan and Elisabeth Frink. He also became a visitor at Camberwell. Amongst his students were Quentin...Category
