William Nicholson : Double Anemones (1921)

“Here Nicholson employs an almost square format, which is unusual for him, and the rich, dark background of his pre-war still lifes makes a return. The scarlet, purple, pink and white anemones in a simple white mug with painted decoration are standing on a thin white cloth, partially covering a plain wooden table. Silver and…

Frank Cadogan Cowper: The Blue Bird (1918)

“The Blue Bird appeared at the RA in 1918, the last year of the Great War. Military images dominated the exhibition and the picture must have struck an incongruous note amid the portraits of generals, tributes to indomitable Tommies, romanticised accounts of ‘bringing up the guns’, and poignant war memorials…The picture does, however, undoubtedly relate…

Léon de Smet: Coucher de Soleil sur le Village (c.1920)

“The painting dates from the period in which the artist had begun to experiment with burlap, following his move to London in 1914, on the outbreak of World War One. While de Smet’s use of discrete dashes of impasto colour does indeed recall Post-Impressionism, he allows the rough texture of the burlap beneath to ‘breathe’…
