• Yellows 1969 abstract screenprint by John Hoyland

    £1,950

    John Hoyland (1934 - 2011)

    Yellows (1969)

      Screenprint 56 x 94 cm

    Artist’s proof. Signed and dated lower right.

    Hoyland's abstract print is made up of wide fields of colour, formally arranged. Paul Moorhouse wrote of the artist's ‘insistence on eliminating figurative references’, and here we have an entirely abstract composition - one which has no desire to depict anything figurative, anything tangible. The colours are vivid, with the ‘restrictive palette in which red-green oppositions are dominant’ which marks Hoyland's early work is cautiously evident here. The abstraction is deliberately imperfect: small yellow splashes break into the expanse of green, and the texture of that green overtly demonstrates its texture and madeness. Hoyland's prints are keen to remind us of the physical process of their making, relying on the tension between the formal and the informal to do so. John Hoyland was one of Britain's most revered post-war abstract artists. He was born in Sheffield and studied at the Sheffield School of Art and Crafts, and then Sheffield College of Art and the Royal Academy Schools in London. His first solo exhibition was held at the Marlborough New London Gallery in 1964. Retrospectives of his paintings have been held at the Serpentine Gallery (1979), the Royal Academy (1999) and Tate St Ives (2006). Hoyland was elected to the Royal Academy in 1991 and was appointed Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy Schools in 1999. Condition: very good; recent heavy handsome frame. Glass will be removed for international shipping. If you are interested, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Click here for other Modern British Print.

  • Volterra, Tuscany, Italy etching by Richard Beer

    £350

    Richard Beer (1928 - 2017)

    Volterra

      Etching and aquatint 60 x 45 cm Titled and numbered 4/70 lower left, and signed lower right, both in pencil. Beer's yellow-hued view of Volterra, a mountain town in Tuscany. Overseen by the beating Italian sun, a church perches atop a hill marked by trees and rocky outcrops. Born in London in 1928, just too late to serve in the Second World War, Richard Beer studied between 1945 - 1950 at the Slade School. Subsequently, a French Government scholarship allowed him to spend time in Paris at Atelier 17, working under Stanley William Hayter (1901 - 1988), one of the most significant print makers of the 20th Century – having spent the War in New York, advising as a camofleur, Hayter only returned to Paris in 1950. Subsequently Beer studied at the École des Beaux Arts, Paris. Working for John Cranko, choreographer for the Royal Ballet, Beer designed the sets and costumes for his The Lady and the Fool at Covent Garden, subsequently working for him following his move in 1961 to Stuttgart Ballet. Additionally he produced book illustrations and designed book jackets. Beer later taught print-making at the Chelsea School of Art, where he was a popular teacher. Probably his greatest work was a collaboration with John Betjeman to produce a portfolio of prints of ten Wren Churches in the City for Editions Alecto, copies of which are in The Government Art Collection. That collection contains a total of 54 prints by Beer, and the Tate Gallery’s collection holds seven. His Oxford series was also produced for Editions Alecto as was a series of predominantly architectural views in Southern Europe. Most of his prints are of architectural subjects.

    Trinity College, Oxford (1964 / 65)

      Etching and aquatint 42.5 x 58 cm Numbered 27 / 100. Published by Editions Alecto. A copy of this print, owned by the Government Art Collection, is currently in the British Embassy in Saudi Arabia. Richard Beer was a painter and printmaker who focused on architecture and landscapes. He studied at the Slade School of Art from 1945 to 1950 and then studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris on a French Government Scholarship. He then worked and studied at Atelier 17, an art school and studio run by the artist Stanley William Hayter (arguably one of the most significant printmakers of the 20th century). The atelier was highly influential in the study and promotion of 20th-century printmaking, and it was here that Beer developed his etching skills. Beer then went on to work for the Royal Ballet choreographer John Cranko, designing the sets and costumes for "The Lady and the Fool" at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. He also produced several book illustrations and book jacket designs. Beer taught printmaking at the Chelsea School of Art for 40 years and was also a founding member of the Printmakers' Council. He travelled widely through Italy, France, Spain, and Morocco, sketching prolifically and painting rural and architectural landscapes. Beer would then make etchings and paintings in his Primrose Hill studio, inspired by the landscapes he had sketched and seen while travelling. Probably his greatest work was a collaboration with John Betjeman to produce a portfolio of prints of ten Wren Churches in the City of London for Editions Alecto, copies of which are in The Government Art Collection.

  • Rugby School linocut print by Walter Hoyle

    £1,750

    Walter Hoyle (1922 - 2000)

    Rugby School

      Linocut 62 x 46 cm Signed, titled, and inscribed A/P in pencil. Possibly unique. Hoyle's view of Rugby School. The school's architecture is depicted in shades of blue and grey, with an orange patch of sun in the cloudy sky above. A green garden peeks out from between the buildings, which lean gently away from one another. Hoyle trained at Beckenham School of Art and the Royal College of Art. At the latter he was strongly influenced by Edward Bawden, one of Britain’s greatest linocut printers. Bawden had been commissioned by the 1951 Festival of Britain to produce a mural for the South Bank, and chose Hoyle to assist on account of his great talent. Hoyle moved to Great Bardfield in Essex, becoming a part of the Great Bardfield group of artists; diverse in style, they created figurative work, in stark contrast to the abstract art of the St Ives artists at the opposite end of the country. Hoyle taught at St Martin’s School of Art from 1951-60, the Central School of Arts and Crafts from 1960-64, and the Cambridge School of Art from 1964-1985, during which time he launched Cambridge Print Editions. His work is held in the collections of the Tate Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, The British Museum, Kettle’s Garden and the Fry Art Gallery. Condition: enerally very good; a few handling marks and a little spotting to the margins. If you are interested, please email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

    Richard Beer Oxford Spires Etching Print

    £650

    Richard Beer (1928-2017) Oxford Spires - All Souls College and Radcliffe Camera

    Limited edition coloured etching signed in pencil and numbered 75/150. 62x44cm Born in London in 1928, just too late to serve in World War II, Richard Beer studied between 1945-1950 at the Slade School. Subsequently, a French Government scholarship allowed him to spend time in Paris at Atelier 17, working under Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988), one of the most significant print makers of the 20th Century – having spent the War in New York, advising as a camofleur, Hayter only returned to Paris in 1950. Subsequently Beer studied at the École des Beaux Arts, Paris. Working for John Cranko, choreographer for the Royal Ballet, Beer designed the sets and costumes for his The Lady and the Fool at Covent Garden, subsequently working for him following his move in 1961 to Stuttgart Ballet. Additionally he produced book illustrations and designed book jackets. Richard Beer taught print-making at the Chelsea School of Art where he was a popular teacher. Probably his greatest work was a collaboration with John Betjeman to produce a portfolio of prints of ten Wren Churches in the City for Editions Alecto, copies of which are in The Government Art Collection. That collection contains a total of 54 prints by Beer, and the Tate Gallery’s collection holds seven. His Oxford series was also produced for Editions Alecto, as was a series of predominantly architectural views in Southern Europe. Most of his prints are of architectural subjects, where he explores the use of colour in interesting fashion. If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056.

  • Richard Beer 'Hôtel de la Gare' coloured etching and aquatint

    Richard Beer (b.1928) 'Hôtel de la Gare'

    Colour etching and aquatint Signed and numbered 41/70 to lower margin Plate size 34.5 x 42.5cm; sheet size 57 x 75cm Richard Beer enrolled at the Slade in 1945, when Lucien Freud, Graham Sutherland and Keith Vaughan were teaching there, before moving to Paris in 1950 where he continued his studies under Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17 and at the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1955 he began designing theatrical sets and costumes, notably for John Cranko's 'The Lady and the Fool' at Covent Garden, and for the Deutsches Oper in Berlin and the Staatsteater Stuttgart. This background in design may be behind the flattened planes, subtle atmospheric colours and striking architectural compositions of his prints. In 1970 Beer collaborated with John Betjeman to produce a folio of prints entitled 'Ten Wren Churches' published by Editions Alecto. Since 1973 his prints have been published by Christie's Contemporary Art and he also receiveded commissions from London Transport. He travelled frequently to Europe, particularly to Italy where this Venetian café scene was conceived. Beer taught printmaking at the Chelsea School of Art, the Slade and the British School at Rome and was a founding member of the Printmaker's Council. His works are included in the collection of the Tate and the Government Art Collection. If you are interested email info@manningfineart.co.uk or call us on 07929 749056. Condition: Excellent.
