Claude Muncaster Art

British, 1903-1974

At the age of 15, the career for landscape painter Claude Grahame Muncaster, RWS, ROI, RBA, SMA began, and he soon took to the seas, spending the 1920s and ‘30s traveling the world with his sketchbook in a series of vessels. With the outbreak of war, he joined the RNVR training as a navigator. Having left school at 15, his understanding of mathematics was very weak, and it was a relief for all when his artistic talents meant he was recruited as a camoufleur.

A master of capturing seascapes, Muncaster was, therefore, able to hide huge ships in plain sight with clever disguises. After the war, he painted for the Royal Family and was a frequent guest at Sandringham. Muncaster was a watercolorist known for his landscapes and maritime scenes.

Born Grahame Hall, Muncaster was the son of the Royal Academician Oliver Hall, who taught his son to paint from an early age. He first exhibited his work at 15 and a few years later was showing at the Royal Academy. However, he adopted the name Claude Muncaster in 1922 to dissociate his career from that of his father. Muncaster’s primary choice of subject matter came from a genuine love of the sea. He made several long-distance sea voyages, including one around the Horn as a deckhand in the windjammer Olivebank in 1931, which he described in Rolling Round the Horn, published in 1933. Armed with a sketchbook, Muncaster aimed to be able to paint ships and the sea with greater authority. This he certainly achieved, perfectly capturing the limpid first light of morning over the Port of Aden, the choppy rain-grey waters of the Bay of Biscay and a streak of sunlight through gathering storm clouds at dusk in Exeter.

Muncaster became an associate of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1931 and was a founding member, and later president, of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. During the Second World War, Muncaster served in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) from 1940–44, training as a navigator before going on to advise on the camouflage of ships, and also worked as an official war artist. In 1946–47, he was commissioned by the Queen to produce watercolors of the royal residences at Windsor, Sandringham and Balmoral, the Duke of Edinburgh, in a foreword to a biography of Muncaster, recalls looking at these and considering the artist’s unerring instinct for a subject, his sense of atmosphere. Other commissions included large panoramas of the Thames and Bradford. Muncaster's career also included work as an etcher, illustrator, writer, lecturer and broadcaster, and his paintings can be found in the Royal Academy, Tate, National Maritime Museum Cornwall, National Railway Museum and Royal Air Force Museum.

India Bangladesh Indistinctly signed in Bengal 1979 Watercolour Fisherman Dacca

Located in Norfolk, GB

Indistinctly signed in Bengali, dated ‘79 Bangladesh/Indian Indistinctly signed in Bengali and dated ‘79 Untitled - Fishermen 1979 Watercolour on paper Paper size: 34 x 53 cm Frame Size: 46 x 62.5 cm Provenance: From a private UK family A fabulously evocative watercolour painting showing fisherman, struggling against the elements. This is Bangladesh, 1979, not long after Independence, when the focus was on the working classes, the everyday struggle to make a living and when the artists depicting these times were concurrently exploring and establishing a new aesthetic. The painting combines naturalism with the wash method of watercolour painting and a reduced palette which allows for a rich harmony of shadow and light. Although appearing to simply utilize monotone colours, closer inspection reveals splashes of quite vivid colours; the yellow on the horizon, a deep crimson on the trousers of one of the figures, blue in the nets etc. The colour is subtle but adds a richness to the overall composition implying that this artist has received an academic training; knowing how to get the most from the materials. Add to this the beautiful watery effect from the wash on the paper and we can immediately see references to Bengal school art techniques. It is not surprising that the artist employs this medium. Neuroarthistory points to the rich heritage of Bengal school painters and the fascination with wash technique emanating from their connection to the water which provides the backbone for the region. From supplying food; fish and seafood, to transportation, agriculture and festivities. Bengal and Bangladesh live and die with the water. Some of the leading protagonists of the mid 20th century Bengal school of painters were equally captivated by the same subject and ideology. D P Roy Choudhury was a leading figure in the academic art institutions in the first half of the 20th century. He was also a great experimenter of style. In the image shown,, we can see Choudhury’s treatment of the same subject and how he to chose the monotone palette. It is through observing the similarities and differences that we begin to learn more about the times these artists were painting in and in the case of the Bangladeshi artists how they were approaching the political traumas of the time. The label to the back of the frame tells its own story;. Saju Arts & Crafts, Dacca-12. “Saju was born in 1944 in Ramu, Cox's Bazar. At one point, he became friends with Shamsul Islam Nizami, one of the veteran painters of Bangladesh. At that time, Nizami was a teacher of the Institute of Fine Arts (now Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka). Nizami introduced Saju to all the notable painters in the contemporary art scenario -- from master painters like Zainul Abedin, Quamrul Hassan...
