Artist:
Alexander Hodgkinson
Title:
Still Life with Lamp,
No. 1 - an original oil painting on board, unframed
Description:
Alexander Hodgkinson, ROI was a painter in oil best known
for his still life pictures, although he also painted
portraits and some landscapes, including in Wales. He
studied art at the Royal College of Art in London and gained
his diploma there. He exhibited from the Royal Academy from
1946-1967, and also with the London Group, and the Royal
Institute of Oil Painters of which society he became a full
member. He lived in Wimbledon and from 1948 in Barnes,
London SW13.
The present work is a
large original oil painting on board, measuring 28 x 40
inches. On the back there is a paper label giving his then
address in Barnes, and the title of the painting as 'Still
Life with Lamp, No 1'. The work is not signed but Hodgkinson
often did not sign his oils recto preferring instead to fix
labels to the back of the painting or the frame. A painting
of this title was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1961
(#574) and again in 1967 (#579). As Hodgkinson's output was
not large there is a good possibility that this is the same
painting. We believe that the recent provenance of the
present painting is Bonhams, London, #110 in the sale of
16th September 2003. The painting is in excellent condition
having been cleaned professionally within the past year. It
is unframed.
We also have an
earlier still life on canvas by Alexander
Hodgkinson which was exhibited in the 1950s at
the London Group. Images and details will be
sent gladly on request...
