About the Item

Roland Suddaby 1912 -1972, was an English watercolourist and oil painter. Suddaby predominately painted in watercolour and mostly landscapes form his home in Suffolk. However he won a scholarship at the Sheffield College of art and studied studied there until 1926, he then travelled to London in 1931 and exhibited at the Wertheim and The Redfern Galleries. At the start of WW11 he moved out of London to the provinces like some other artists who had experienced their studios and works lost or damaged through the bombing. This watercolour is a monochrome brown wash and is quite rare for Suddaby who was a landscape artist, consequently we concluded that this picture was painted when he was at art school, Sheffield, and it almost certainly dates before 1926. He was already making a name for himself within the artists community and therefore signed the work, which in itself is unusual for a student as their works are generally much criticised during their early days and avoidance of such confrontation is regularly seen to be avoided and artists are known to hide or disguise their name, but not here. Whether he was known personally to the sitter is unknown but he was confident enough to sign it. I have included an alternative biography of the artist. Rowland Suddaby (1912–1972) was a prominent British landscape and still life painter, best known for his atmospheric depictions of the East Anglian countryside. His work is characterized by a "spontaneous vitality" and a rich use of colour and black ink lines. He was born in 1912 in Kimberworth, Yorkshire. He studied at the Sheffield College of Art (1926–1930) on a scholarship while working in the steel industry. He moved to London in 1931 to attend the Royal College of Art. He initially supported himself by designing film titles in Wardour Street. His first solo exhibition was held at the Wertheim Gallery in 1935, followed by a series of successful shows at the Redfern Gallery starting in 1936. He was heavily influenced by the Neo-Romantic movement and artists like Christopher Wood. His style evolved from bold, expressive compositions to more contemplative landscapes. Primarily known for his watercolours and oils of Suffolk fields, ponds, and coastlines. He also produced popular still life paintings and explored abstraction in his later years. Designed textiles, furnishings, and iconic posters for Shell.Wartime and later In 1940, he was commissioned for the Recording Britain project, an initiative to document the British landscape during WWII. He moved to Sudbury, Suffolk, in 1939. He became a central figure in the local art scene and co-founded the Colchester Art Society in 1946. He served as the curator of Gainsborough's House in Sudbury from 1968 until his death in 1972. His work is held in numerous major UK institutions, including The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A)Government Art Collection (which holds 24 of his works)Arts Council Collection and many regional galleries such as the Manchester Art Gallery and National Museum Cardiff.
