Artist: Leslie G Davie

Title: 'A View of Rye, Sussex' - a signed oil painting on board, framed

Description: Leslie G Davie was a landscape painter working in the period from the 1930s to the 1960s. He lived at Hither Green in London in the late 1930s, and painted in and around south east London and Kent. We think he moved to Rye in the late 1940s. He was one of eight professional artists who founded the group RX8 in Rye in 1951, the other founder members being John Cole ROI, Robert Mackechnie RBA, Margaret Barnard, Michael Cammack, Geoffrey Bagley, Walter Cole and Michael Griffiths. RX8 held just one exhibition in 1951 in Mermaid Street, Rye and the following year they joined with a group of younger artists to form the more broadly based Rye Society of Artists, which still flourishes today.

The present work is an original oil painting on board measuring about 12 x 19.3 inches board size and about 15.2 x 22.5 inches in its frame. The painting is signed and dated 1963 and is a view towards the ancient town of Rye in East Sussex. Both the painting and frame are in generally good condition for their age and the work is 'ready to hang'...
