About the Item
Nommie Durell landscape, oil on canvas c1950. UK. Signed bottom edge.
Exhibited Sally Hunter Fine Art Gallery April 2005 as no 2 in the catalogue.
Nommie Durell (1905-89) was born Mary Louise Lasenby and was related to the family that owned the Liberty's store in London. She studied at Rodean and The Slade before moving into teaching with her husband Harry Durell. Progressive in their teaching methods and conscientious objectors, they worked at Dartington Hall during the war. Post-war she also taught at the progressive independent school Bedales for some time. Before the war she exhibited widely including at the New English Art Club (NEAC). Her work slipped into relative obscurity post-war as she devoted most of her time to running a boarding house in Hampstead and spending the summers painting on the Riviera. Her work was re-discovered after her death by London based gallery owner Sally Hunter who organised retrospective exhibitions of her work in 1992, 1994 and 2005. Her work is now receiving greater recogntion for its significance and contribution to modern British art.

- Lucie Rie Stoneware Jug in Manganese and White GlazeBy Lucie RieLocated in Leicester, GBLucie Rie Stoneware cream jug in manganese and pitted white glaze. With impressed LR mark. c1950s. Provenance: European Ceramics, Knaresborough, 2002. Alan and Pat Firth Collection. Lucie Rie DBE (1902-95) was one of the most important figures in Twentieth Century ceramics. Born in Vienna, she originally studied at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna under Michael Powolony. Before the war she exhibited at the Paris World Fair in 1925 and 1937, at which she won a silver medal. Of Jewish descent, she fled Austria for Britain in 1938 and spent the rest of her life in London. It is difficult to underestimate the importance of her work in Britain and indeed worldwide. She brought the style of European modernism to this country and inspired a generation of potters to develop that approach. A good friend of leading British studio ceramicist Bernard Leach, she became and internationally acclaimed ceramicist with innovations in both shape and glaze. In 1948 she hired a young Hans Coper and they worked and exhibited together for many years. She also spent some time teaching at Camberwell School of Art. Her ceramic work is now regarded as some of the finest and most important of the last century, its lasting influence assured. After her death her studio was reconstructed and exhibited by the Victorian and Albert Museum. Her work is held in the most important ceramics...Category
