Hyacinths and Almond Tree, Oil on Canvas Painting by Margaret Mellis, 1951
Located in Kingsclere, GB
Hyacinths and Almond Tree, Oil on Canvas Painting by Margaret Mellis 1914-2009, 1951
Additional information:
Medium: Oil on canvas
51 x 63 cm
20 1/8 x 24 3/4 in
Margaret Mellis was an important figure in the story of St Ives, though her artwork is often overlooked. Known for her collages and constructions in the 1930s and 1940s, the break-up of her marriage to Adrian Stokes and subsequent marriage to Francis Davison with the move to Suffolk in 1948, resulted in a dramatic change in her work: ‘I couldn’t even go on with what I was doing, so I went right back to the beginning of where I left off representational painting. I started over again’. The early 1950s saw a series of still-life compositions in which colour remained central to her working and her former abstract tendencies are still evident. Here, the use of the window obscures the foreground-background distinction and the deliberately arbitrary use of colour allows for Mellis to subtly distort the subject matter.

Margaret Mellis was one of the early members, and last survivors, of the group of modernists that popularised St Ives as a hub of artistic activity in the 1940s.
Mellis was born in Wukingfu, Swatow, China, where her father was a missionary. Her family returned to East Lothian when she was one year old, shortly after the First World War broke out, so her father David Barclay Mellis-Smith could join up.
Abandoning an initial interest in music, she studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1930 to 1934, under colourist Samuel John Peploe...
