About the Item

Harbour Scene by Frank Kirby (1919-2007) Original oil on board c.1980's An interesting and highly accomplished oil painting depicting a harbour scene with the artist in the foreground by the highly regarded 20th century British artist Frank Kirby. This is a rare example of the artist's work being offered for sale on the open market. Kirby was not a commercially motivated artist and although some works were sold during his lifetime most of his output was retained or sold directly to private collectors. Kirby can be said to have made a genuine contribution to the 20th century British school and this is a wonderful example of his work, painted with the strong colours and bold confident brush strokes that are typical of Kirby's work. The painting is signed verso. A wonderful opportunity to acquire an original painting by an often overlooked modern British artist whose work is sure to become increasingly desirable and sought after as it emerges into the art market. This painting is in very fine original condition. Dimensions: Painting: 425mm x 300mm Frame: 740mm x 610mm We have further paintings by this artist available, please contact us for more information.

He lived and worked for the majority of his life in London and later in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire. Kirby exhibited his work at London's Southbank Centre and elsewhere. Fellow London artists have variously described Kirby and his work as 'Excellent, powerful paintings', 'A native gift', 'It was a great privilege to work with him'. Through his work in London, exhibitions and interaction with fellow artists Kirby can be said to have made a genuine contribution to the 20th century British school of art.
