Sylvia Gosse was the daughter of Sir Edmund Gosse, an eminent man of letters. She trained at the St John's Wood School of Art, the Royal Academy Schools and under Sickert, at the Westminster School of Art. From 1909, she exhibited at Frank Rutter's Allied Artists's Association and began showing with the New English Art Club, from 1911. In 1913, she exhibited with the Camden Town Group, in their exhibition in Brighton. Her first solo exhibition, at the Carfax Gallery, in 1916, revealed the influences of both Sickert and Gilman. She was a founder member of the London Group and exhibited over 50 works with them, throughout the 1910s and 1920s. Remaining very close to Sickert, she taught with him at his Rowlandson House School in London and then followed him to Dieppe, where she nursed him through periods of ill health. She was a loyal disciple of Sickert's methods, in both painting and etching. In 1934, she instigated the Sickert Fund, to support him in his old age. She was also close to Gilman, for a period and modelled for him. Admired by the critic, Frank Rutter, she was included in his 1935 book, Modern Masterpieces, where she was recognized as belonging to the group of English Impressionists. In 1989, a significant exhibition of her work was staged at the Michael Parkin Gallery and she traveled to the University of Hull. Examples of her work are held by the Tate Gallery and Ashmolean Museum. She spent her final years living near Hastings, in Sussex.

Watershed
By Willard Dixon
Located in Burlingame, CA
Watershed, oil on canvas is 36 x 55 inches. The painting features a walking pathway and rolling foothills up close, and into the distance with a clear blue sky. A serene and calming painting by Willard Dixon, who is one of the finest American contemporary realist painters living today. Dixon has painted coastal landscapes for 35 years, capturing the undeniable beauty of the West with its grand and humble spirit. The same sensitivity can be found in Dixon’s contemporary still life scenes that offer viewers a resting place to contemplate objects: fruit, glassware, orbs and bowls — and his portraiture, which largely focuses on his artist friends and illustrious colleagues. Dixon’s work can be found in a wide array of distinctive private and public collections, as well as the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Watershed — 36 x 55 inches. Oil on canvas, and traditionally framed in streamlined, minimal oak.

Fountains at Pernes Les Fountaines France Impressionist landscape oil painting
By Sylvia Gosse
Located in Hagley, England
Do you like fountains? Sylvia Gosse certainly did, as the location of this painting is the French town of Pernes Les Fountaines in Provence. The little town has 40 or more fountains, big and small, all serviced by the river Nesque. Gosse was a Camden Town/Sickert School artist and painted this painting circa 1912. It depicts a nocturnal landscape scene with three fountains. The fountains are beautifully illuminated with coloured lights and a large crowd on the banks of the water seem to have gathered to watch this spectacle, some having brought their own chairs. The coloured lights cast beautiful tones of pinky red on to the on lookers. Across the water and beyond a tree covered hill stands an impressive columned building. The vibrant colouring, impasto and brushwork are all superb. This is an excellent example of Gosse's work and Sickert's influence as her mentor and life long freind are evident. Signed lower left and also signed and titled verso. Provenance. Private collection of Camden Town Group...
