Artist: John Emanuel

Title: Two Figures II - an original painting in mixed media on paper, framed

Description: John Emanuel (born 1930, Bury, Lancashire) is a painter and printmaker of figure subjects and of the human form embraced by the landscape, especially the Cornish landscape.  A largely self taught artist with no formal art training, he began painting full time on moving to Cornwall in 1964.  John Emanuel was elected a member of the Penwith Society of Artists in 1968 and had his first one man show in 1975 at the Wills Lane Gallery in St Ives. Many other solo shows have followed including at the Gilbert Parr Gallery, London; Montpelier Studio, London; Salthouse Gallery, St Ives; and Beaux Arts Gallery, Bath. He has had a studio at Porthmeor in St Ives since 1982 and was a founder member of the Porthmeor Printmakers 1992 and a member and one time chairman of the Newlyn Society of Artists.

The present work is in mixed media (gouache, pastel, watercolour, charcoal, pencil and gold leaf) and measures about 20 x 14 inches paper size and about 28 x 22 inches in its frame.  It is signed on the reverse and titled 'Two Figures II' 1984, and has the label of the Montpelier Studio in London SW7. We believe that this work would have been exhibited in the John Emanuel solo show held at that gallery in 1984. The work is housed in its original wooden frame, which was made in Penzance, and is in good condition...
