Artist: Dorothy Trotman Bordass, RE (1905-1992)

Title: 'St Ives Bay' 1963

Description: oil on canvas, measuring 30 x 40 inches image size.  The painting is signed, and signed again, titled and dated on the reverse.  It also has an old exhibition label (see photo).  The view is from St Ives harbour towards Godrevy lighthouse, some three miles distant.  This is undoubtedly one of the artist's major pictures from her best period.

Dorothy Bordass lived in Cornwall for some years, and she was a friend of local artists such as Bryan Pearce.  There is a sense of naivety about her work, although of course she was a highly accomplished painter and printmaker, having studied in Paris and under Iain MacNab.  She exhibited at the Royal Academy, Redfern Gallery, Mercury Gallery etc, and her work is held in public collections. A retrospective exhibition was held at The Chappel Galleries in Essex in 1992...
