Ken Moroney Art

British, b. 1949

Ken Moroney was born on February 14, 1949, in South London. Of Anglo-Irish parentage, he showed early artistic talent. His Irish father, finding it unmanly, encouraged him to box. As a result, Moroney took up boxing and won a gold medal for South London in his teens. However, this did not distract him from art, and once his boxing hobby came to an end, the paints continued to show his flair. Self-taught, his impressionistic style, with bold use of color, has found widespread favor. Moroney’s main medium is oil, and he favored the romantic subjects of Edwardian times. His works now hang in many important collections.

Of Anglo Irish parentage, his father was typical of his generation and worried about Ken’s artistic temperament which he viewed as effeminate.

His main medium oils and he favors romantic subjects of Edwardian times. Ken has traveled extensively and spent 2 years working for major galleries in New York. The Royal Academy nominated him in 1976 as being one of the few promising young artists to emerge this century: "Ken Moroney has considerable talent, any painting purchased now can only be seen as a sound long term investment."

Les Baigneuses - Neo-Impressionist Nudes in Landscape Oil by Georges Lemmen

By Georges Lemmen

Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire

Signed oil on canvas nudes in landscape circa 1910 by Belgian neo-impressionist painter Georges Lemmen. The work depicts nude bathers on a sunny beach beside the sea. Signature: Signed lower left with the cachet of painter Dimensions: Framed: 23.5"x24.5" Unframed: 14.5"x15.5" Provenance: Olivier Bertrand (expert on the painter) has confirmed the authenticity of this work Georges Lemmen was the son of an architect and studied under Amédée Bourson at the academy in St Joost-ten-Node. He was invited in 1889 to join the Group of Twenty ( Cercle des XX) which had been launched in 1884 by Oscar Maus and had in the interim emerged as an influential force in Belgian artistic circles, not least by bringing to public and critical attention the work of such artists as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. The Cercle des XX would be reborn in 1894 as La Libre Esthétique. In the early days of the Cercle des XX, Lemmen espoused a pointilliste technique. His earlier painting was clearly influenced by the Neo-Impressionists; over time, however, his style became more subtle and nuanced - recalling, perhaps, that of his compatriot Van Rysselberghe, another Cercle des XX member. With the group's rebirth as the Libre Esthétique, Lemmen's work became more intimiste in character, most notably in his portraits, nudes and still-lifes, where the influence of Bonnard and Vuillard is unmistakable, as is that of Renoir, particularly after Lemmen's travels in the Midi in 1911. From this point onwards, he would go on to make a major contribution to the renewal of the graphic and decorative arts in terms of his input to the new 'free' aesthetic and to Art Nouveau. Although his draughtsmanship retained its essential purity and elegance of line, his painting became more fleshy, imprecise and sensual, his compositions governed less by technical considerations than by the urgent need to express his emotions. Between 1889 and 1893, Lemmen exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, aligning himself with the Neo-Impressionists. In 1893, Henry van de Velde invited him to participate in the Pour l'Art association that had been created in Antwerp. He travelled to the south of France in 1911. By this juncture, he had already exhibited solo on two occasions (in 1906 and 1908) at the Galerie Druet in Paris. A further solo exhibition in 1913, his first in Brussels, cemented Lemmen's reputation.

Nymph Adorning a Bust in a Garden, Signed Nude Painting

By Albert Cresswell

Located in Genève, GE

Signed "Cresswell" in the lower right corner. This evocative oil painting presents a poetic, symbolist-inspired scene of a nude female figure, likely a nymph, gently adorning a sculpted bust with flowers in a secluded garden setting. The composition unfolds in a softly lit, atmospheric space, where warm, earthy tones and delicate transitions of light create a sense of intimacy and reverie. The artist employs a fluid, painterly technique, allowing forms to emerge through subtle gradations rather than sharp definition. The figure’s elongated silhouette and graceful posture recall the classical tradition, while the blurred contours and tonal harmonies align with late 19th-century aesthetic sensibilities. The presence of sculptural elements and floral offerings suggests allegorical undertones, possibly referencing themes of beauty, transience, and devotion. Stylistically, the work sits at the intersection of Academic painting and Symbolism, with a strong affinity for the intimism and softness associated with artists influenced by Impressionism. The muted palette, combined with expressive brushwork, enhances the dreamlike quality of the scene. Both refined and sensual, this painting would appeal to collectors of Symbolist art, fin-de-siècle painting, and classical-inspired figurative works. symbolist painting, nymph painting, nude female figure oil painting, allegorical art, classical nude painting...
