Robert Tavener Art

British, 1920-2004

Robert Tavener was born and brought up in Hampstead, in a family of tailors and glovers. He showed his artistic talent at a young age, mostly through use of chalk on pavements. After leaving school, Tavener took a desk job to please his parents rather than following his artistic bent but was soon called up to serve in the Royal Artillery in 1940. His war service took him to the beaches of Normandy on D-Day and allowed him to study for eight months after the war ended at the University of Göttingenin the arts and crafts faculty. Studying at Hornsey College of Art specializing in lithography, he obtained a teaching diploma. Posts at the Medway College of Art in Rochester and St Martin’s School of Art in London were followed by Eastbourne College of Art and Design, where Tavener became the Head of Printmaking. Tavener’s prints were produced on his 1882 Albion Press in his studio at home and largely focused on the English countryside and architecture. “My subject matter is a personal interpretation of the richness, variety, beauty, and the underlying relationship with the past, of our landscape and building,” he said. His architectural output focused on pictures of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as the great cathedrals and Wren’s city churches. Much of his work went to public institutions, both in the UK and the USA.

Early 19th Century English watercolour of woodland near Croxdale Hall

Located in Harkstead, GB

A very attractive and meticulously executed view of a rocky landscape within the woods dating to 1823. This would suit a library or study with its muted tones and skifull draughtsmanship. William Nicholson (1781-1844) Near Croxdale Hall Signed with initials and inscribed with title and date 1823 Pen, ink and grey wash 11 x 8 inches, image only 17 x 13 inches without frame The portrait-painter and etcher William Nicholson was born in Ovingham-on-Tyne, Northumberland, on Christmas Day 1781. His family transferred to Newcastle when his father was appointed Headmaster of the city's Grammar School. At an early age, though, Nicholson appears to have moved to Hull where he made his artistic debut, painting miniatures of officers garrisoned there. He was almost entirely self-taught, learning his craft through the close study of artworks in private and public galleries. He subsequently returned to Newcastle where he received many commissions to paint portraits of the old families of Northumberland. In 1808, he began to exhibit at the Royal Academy, continuing to do so until 1822. By 1814, Nicholson, whose mother was a Scot, had moved to Edinburgh where he set up as a miniaturist and painter in oils. Soon, however, he began to specialize in watercolour portraits. Early subjects included the actor Daniel Terry and the poet and novelist James Hogg. In 1818 he began to publish a series of Portraits of Eminent Scotsmen, etched from his own portraits and those of other painters. Besides Scott and Hogg, the subjects included the writers Robert Burns, John Wilson ('Christopher North'), and Lord Jeffrey, the painters Sir Henry Raeburn, the divines Alexander Carlyle and Alexander Cameron, the engineer James Watt, the architect John Playfair, and the song-collector and composer George Thomson...
