Artist: JAMES NEAL, ARCA (born 1918)

Title: TOWN SCENE WITH BLACK CAR (Framed oil on board)

Description: James Neal was born in London, and studied at the St.Martin's School of Art and Royal College of Art. He showed his work at the Royal Academy, Royal Scottish Academy, New English Art Club, London Group, and with the Redfern Gallery. Solo shows included Trafford Gallery, Wildenstein and in 1983-89 Ferens Gallery in Hull, which gave him a two-part retrospective. A number of public collections hold his work.  James Neal has lived in Hull for more than fifty years.

This oil on board measures 24 x 18 inches image size, and it is signed and dated 1957.  We think this work was painted in London as Neal worked there often in the 1950s as well as painting many harbour scenes at Whitstable in Kent.  He is recorded as having painted views of Camden and Islington in 1957.

The painting is in excellent condition.  It was once in a public collection (Nottinghamshire County Council) but was de-accessioned some years ago.  The frame was added we think by Nottinghamshire CC, but it doesn't do the painting justice...
