Mounted in a decorative gilt frame and signed bottom right Oliver Clare ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Framed Height: 39cm Framed Width: 43cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition circa: 1890 Materials: Oil on Canvas SKU: 2252 ABOUT Oliver Clare, (English, 1853~1927) Oliver Clare was born in 1853, to the renowned still-life artist George Clare. The Clare family members were Victorian artists who specialized in, and were well known for their highly finished and precisely detailed still life and flower paintings. Oliver spent most of his artistic life in Birmingham. Though there are no records indicating where he received his training, one can be quite certain that most, if not all, of it was from his father. Their stippling technique and choice of subject matter are almost identical. While Oliver lived in Birmingham he was commissioned by a local health firm "Health Food Stores" to paint still-lives to be reproduced on postcards and posters. Clare exhibited many paintings throughout his lifetime and is most often associated with the Artists of the West Midlands and the North. He exhibited: eighteen works at the Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham; three at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and six at the Manchester City Art Gallery. Throughout the late 1870s and early 1880s he lived in London where he exhibited several works there at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists, Suffolk Street. Clare took an interest in animal painting as well as still life painting and Grant M. Waters, in his book Dictionary of British Artists working 1900-1950 noted Clare's affinity towards animals and stated: He (Oliver) was particularly gifted with animals. He taught his dog to stoke the fire and collect fruit from the greengrocer. On the night he died (in 1927), he sang 'Abide with me'~ his dog died that same night. .
