About the Item
As an Important Mid 20th Century British Artist Humphrey Spender's work is held in numerous public collections including the Tate Gallery , London, National Galleries of Scotland, National Portrait Gallery, London and the Imperial War Museum, London.
There are twenty-three Humphrey Spender artworks held in public collections, the majority are paintings but also include photographs from his former career in photography. His paintings, like the one here express fine technical detail and his subjects often embrace social history, surrealism and abstraction. Composition from 1960s are often landscapes with an astute study in colour, contrast and illusion.
At the time, the world was moving towards space travel, so perhaps this offers an image of an imagined, alien place. The effect is serene.

Located in Oxford, GB
Marc Vaux is a British artist who rose to prominence in the 1960s. His work was included in the seminal Situation exhibition of 1960 alongside Robyn Denny, William Turnbull and Bernard Cohen among others. This exhibition was a direct reaction by British abstract artists to the recent exhibitions in London of the American Abstract Expressionists in particular the Tate's 1959 exhibition The New American Painting.

In 1986, Vaux was appointed Head of Painting at the Central/St Martins College of Art and Design in London where he stayed until he retired in 1989 to concentrate full-time on painting
Vaux's work has variously been described as minimalist and constructivist although since his primary interest is in colour and light he has more in common with the American west coast artists than the New York minimalists...
