About the Item
Leslie Porter (British, 1903-1977)
'Still Life with Pears'
Oil on board
Signed and dated 1950
16 x 21cm
Leslie was born in 1903. He trained at art school (Camberwell I recall) and had an interesting and varied career in marketing and advertising, culminating at one of the UK's largest advertising Agencies, LPE, (later Leo Burnett) where he was a board director and creative director until his retirement in the late '60s. During that time and after his retirement he was a frequent traveller to France where he produced a raft of oil paintings, sketches and pastels observing local people and the lives they led. Also many paintings of buildings and the mostly urban environment both abroad and in this country. One of his early jobs was with London Transport where he produced posters and other publicity material, some of which is in the V&A - you can see a couple online with a bit of an online search. His work was displayed at several exhibitions in London and he was awarded prizes for his oil paintings in France.
After his retirement he moved to the coast at Folkestone where he continued to paint - subjects and buildings around the town, festivals, people and occasional visits across the Channel to France.
He was married but later divorced and lived with his partner Dorothy until his death in Folkestone in 1977.

Leonard Raven-Hill (1867-1942)
Still Life of Flowers II
Oil on canvas
24 x 19 cm
In a handsome frame.
Signed lower left 'L RavenHill'.
A handsome oil painting of a still life of flowers by well-listed painter Leonard Raven-Hill, who has works in the Tate, British Museum, National Portrait Gallery and other famous collections. We have another painting by the same artist listed.
Leonard Raven-Hill (10 March 1867 – 31 March 1942) was an English artist, illustrator, and cartoonist.
He was born in Bath and educated at Bristol Grammar School and the Devon county school. He studied art at the Lambeth School of Art and then in Paris under MM. Bougereau and Aimé Morot. He began to exhibit at the Salon in 1887 but moved back to London when he was appointed as the art editor of Pick-Me-Up. He also continued to work as a painter and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1889. In 1893 he founded, with Arnold Golsworthy, the humorous and artistic monthly The Butterfly (1893–94, revived in 1899–1900) but began his most prominent association with a publication when his drawings appeared in Punch in December 1895. By 1901 he had joined the staff of Punch as the junior political cartoonist.
He contributed to many other illustrated magazines including The Daily Graphic, Daily Chronicle, The Strand Magazine, The Sketch, Pall Mall Gazette and Windsor Magazine. He also illustrated a number of books including
· East London by Sir Walter Besant (1901)
· Cornish Saints and Sinners by J. H. Harris
· Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K. Jerome
· Stalky and Co by Rudyard Kipling
· Kipps by H. G. Wells
Raven-Hill published the impressions of his visit to India on the occasion of the tour of the Prince and Princess of Wales as An Indian Sketch...
