Artist: FREDERICK DONALD BLAKE, RI, RSMA, NEAC (1908-1997)

Title: 'ABSTRACT'  - pair of original oils on paper, unframed

Description: Donald Blake was born in Greenock, Renfrewshire.  At the age of 13 he attended the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, and later on he studied during the evenings at Goldsmiths College and Brixton School of Building. He worked as a designer and became a full time painter in the 1960s. Blake exhibited at the Royal Academy, and was elected a member of prestigious societies such as the Royal Institute of Watercolour Painters, Royal Society of Marine Artists, and the New English Art Club.  He also became President of The Wapping Group of Artists.  Blake is best known for his river and coastal scenes, and for his townscapes.  Although his art was mainly representational, at times it verged towards abstraction.  However, Blake painted a number of pure abstracts, which were probably not exhibited.

We are offering a pair of Blake abstracts, both oil on paper, and both measuring 13.7 x 18.5 inches.  They are both signed lower right and in our opinion they are likely to date from the 1960s or 1970s.  They are in very good condition and are unframed...
