Robert Tavener Prints and Multiples

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.

L'inspiré Self Portrait Marc Chagall Valentina Vava Lithograph 1963 Mourlot 398
By Marc Chagall
Located in Eversholt, Bedfordshire
Inspiration or L'inspiré - The artist and his wife, self-portrait. This is a self-portrait of the great artist, depicting him as lost in thought before one of his paintings, which is apparently related to his home country Russia, as suggested by the small figure in the lower right of the work. Chagall’s wife Valentina (“Vava”), who was also from Russia, is looking over his shoulder, full of longing. The small surreal elements that are characteristic of Chagall’s paintings are also present here: the silhouettes of the houses that seems to stick out of the painting and a figure with a flute or trombone standing on its head. Chagall Lithographe, Volume II of the catalogue raisonné of Chagall's lithographic work, see Mourlot 398, 1957-1962, Paris 1963, imprinted by Imprimerie Mourlot for the publisher André Sauret. A lithographic plate from the catalog that was published in 10,000 copies.
