Liss Llewellyn is delighted to present Summer New Works, 2024.
In this online exhibition, we are thrilled to offer for sale a selection of pictures recently sourced from artists’ estates and private collections. This includes an outstanding work by Stanley Lewis, Hyde Park, 1931, considered by many to be the artist’s masterpiece, which was used in his submission for the Rome Scholarship.
The offering rather aptly features a summertime scene in the form of Kenneth Rowntree’s Studio Window, Greece. The country provided great inspiration for Rowntree throughout his career, from The Guitar Players he painted when just eighteen, now in the collection of the Tate, to these playful views from the 60’s. This exhibition also includes a rare wartime oil by Duncan Grant, a watercolour of Baynard’s Castle by Barbara Jones – which was part of the Recording Britain Scheme – as well as a study for a Fabric Design by Charles Mahoney, which he and Evelyn Dunbar made for his mother, Bessie.
