Robert Sadler
Modern British still life with guitar by Robert Sadler

1960

About the Item

A very attractive cubist still life with statue and guitar by Modern British artist Robert Sadler. The details of the work are as follows: Robert Sadler (British, 1909 – 2001) Venus de Milo and guitar, circa 1960 Oil on board Signed ‘SADLER’ (lower left) 30 x 25in. (76.3 x 63.5 cm.) Robert Sadler was born 1909 in Newmarket, Suffolk as the second son of a racehorse trainer. Learning to draw and paint as a child, he exhibited great promise. Dedication to his artistic career wouldn’t start, however, until retirement from his illustrious career in the RAF in 1955. Sadler had drawn and painted throughout his military service, but it is upon retirement that he attributed to “devote the rest of my life to painting”. Initially living in his hometown of Newmarket to be close to his elderly mother, he created most of his large and more exciting abstract expressionist works during this period. He moved on in 1964 to Aldeburgh, Suffolk where he built his studio and began painting mainly smaller landscapes (as if seen from a low flying aircraft), still lifes, figures and sometimes horses, but often turned to the abstract expressionism for which he is best known. He consistently held solo studio exhibitions every year here as part of the Aldeburgh Festival between 1965 and the year of his death in 2001. He exhibited internationally in the most esteemed galleries over the course of his artistic life and his work is held across numerous collections.

  • Spring Blossom Impression by Swedish Plein Air Artist Anders Ståhl
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Anders Ståhl, Swedish painter, born 1966. Since modernism, outdoor painting has largely been forgotten by professional painters, but the Swedish artist Anders Ståhl keeps the historical tradition of Plein Air alive. Not least when it comes to partly lost working methods in the field. For Anders, this has been a most natural way of creating since childhood; to interpret what he sees and feels, by drawing and painting.  Quickly capturing impressions in the field is one of the most demanding ways of painting you can imagine, since you are simultaneously fighting against both time and the elements. Back in the comfort of the studio, there is so much more time to interpret and perhaps work with larger formats. Anders has a strong artistic relationship with painters from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, especially the French impressionists and Nordic landscape...
