About the Item
This superb, large and vibrant Modern British figurative landscape oil painting is by noted Slade School artist Franklin White. Painted circa 1920 it was exhibited at the New England Art Club and has a label verso. It is a masterpiece of inter war Breugal Britishness. The setting is a village auction and the painting is packed with numerous people, the ladies in their colourful finery, watching the entertainment, some from their carts. Cattle are in the ring and more animals seem to be escaping from the barn. Children climb the hay stacks behind the scene and the landscape disappears into the distance viewed between big fir trees. It looks like organised chaos but everyone is having fun. The painting is very vibrant and full of energy and light. This is a magnificent twenties Breugal-esque figurative landscape and an excellent example of Franklin White's work.
Provenance. Exhibited New England Art Club.
Condition. Oil on canvas, 48 inches by 40 inches unframed and in good condition.
Housed in its original gallery frame, 53 by 45 inches framed and in good condition.
Franklin White (1892-1975) came to this country from Australia in 1913 and two years later entered the Slade School as a student. He worked at the Admiralty making drawings in the Airship department during the First World War. In 1919 he re-entered the Slade and was shortly invited by Professor Tonks to join the teaching staff where he remained until he retired in 1957. On his retirement he turned his full attention to the Samuel Palmer School of Art, which had been operating at his home in Shoreham since 1924 when he first held summer classes in landscape painting for his Slade students. He exhibited at the London Group, Agnews, The Redfern, The New English of the 1920s, and his work is held in permanent collections such as H.M. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's collection, The British Museum, The Victoria and Albert, The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, The Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery, The Laing Gallery, Newcastle, and The National Gallery of Australia, Melbourne. Also held in private collections of Dr Mary Woodall C.B.E., Mrs Thelma Cazalet-Keir C.B.E., Leonard Duke C.B.E., Noel Coward, amongst many others.
