Artist: ROWLAND SUDDABY (1912-1972)

Title: 'EAST ANGLIAN LANDSCAPE' (original watercolour - unframed)

Description: Rowland Suddaby shot to fame in his early twenties with exhibitions at the Wertheim Gallery and a series of shows from 1936 on at the Redfern Gallery.  He was regarded by the latter as their successor to Christopher Wood, and he painted vigorous and atmospheric pictures in London and Cornwall, and later around his home in Suffolk.  Suddaby's work was acquired by many prominent collectors and public bodies.  There are 24 examples in the Government Art Collection alone.

The present watercolour is double sided and measures 15 x 22 inches.  The painting is in good fresh condition, save for some minor creases at the edges, and is offered unframed.  The main image is a fine 'wet' watercolour, painted no doubt close to Suddaby's home at Great Cornard in Suffolk, and although it is not signed or dated, the execution of this work points to a likely date circa 1942/45.  The watercolour on the reverse is an atmospheric but unfinished work (see the second photo). The provenance is the estate of the artist's widow, Elizabeth Suddaby, and by descent to her daughter, and authenticity is guaranteed without reservation.  We also have other watercolours by Suddaby, mainly Post War, all with the same provenance - images will be supplied upon request...
