Figure in a Landscape / British Neo-Romantic (1940s)

SOLD

Mixed media under the original (discoloured) varnish. Painted on a panel with a (London) stencil mark on the back and presented in an old frame of the period. We estimate the picture to have been painted in the 1940s. The picture is inscribed in pencil “Whence comes the passionate awareness of the rest of creation”, once at the bottom of the image and once again on the back of the panel. The painting is also signed by the artist in the bottom right corner, the signature is however illegible.

Description

In British art history, the term “neo-romanticism” is applied to a loosely affiliated school of landscape painting that emerged around 1930 and continued until the early 1950s. It was first labelled in March 1942 by the critic Raymond Mortimer in the New Statesman. These painters looked back to 19th-century artists such as William Blake and Samuel Palmer, but were also influenced by French cubist and post-cubist artists such as Pablo Picasso, André Masson, and Pavel Tchelitchew (Clark and Clarke 2001; Hopkins 2001). This movement was motivated in part as a response to the threat of invasion during World War II. Artists particularly associated with the initiation of this movement included Paul Nash, John Piper, Henry Moore, Ivon Hitchens, and especially Graham Sutherland. A younger generation included John Minton, Michael Ayrton, John Craxton, Keith Vaughan, Robert Colquhoun, and Robert MacBryde (Button 1996).
