Frederick Gore RA (1913- 2009) Summer Flowers Watercolour on paper Signed & Dated 1987 54 x 36 cm
Inscribed: ‘To Charlotte, with love from Freddie.’ Painter, teacher and writer, born in Richmond, Surrey, son of the artist Spencer Gore. He studied at Trinity College and Ruskin School of Drawing, Oxford, 1932-4, and finally at Westminster School of Art and Slade School of Fine Art, 1934-7. In the latter year he had his first one-man show at Redfern Gallery, followed by a series there after World War II. In 1938 he travelled to Greece, showing the resulting work in Paris. Greece, Majorca and France were favourite landscape subjects for Gore, whose rich palette had more in common with the French than the English tradition. Gore taught at Westminster, Epsom and Chelsea Schools of Art and was head of painting department at St Martin’s School of Art, 1951-79. He was elected RA in 1973 and was chairman of its exhibition committee, 1976-87. His publications included Abstract Art, 1956; Painting: Some Basic Principles, 1965; and Pietro della Francesca’s The Baptism, 1969; plus many RA catalogue introductions. In 1979 he had retrospectives at Gainsborough’s House in Sudbury and Bury St. Edmund’s Art Gallery, with an important one at the RA in 1989. Southampton, Plymouth and Reading public galleries hold his work. Enquire about this artwork |
