24 John Bratby RA 1928-1992- "Gondola"; oil on canvas, signed and dated 88, inscribed ' By John Bratby Dec 87+Jan 88' on the stretcher, 122.5x75.5cm
Note: English painter, writer and teacher. He studied at the Kingston College of Art (1948-50) and later at the Royal College of Art (1951-4), where he was awarded a bursary to travel in Italy. However, he was not very stimulated by the art he saw there and subsequently preferred not to travel; his taste for domestic life in England is reflected in his painting (e.g. Window, Self-portrait, Jean and Hands, 1957; London,Tate).
He worked in a harsh realist style, applying the paint thickly in vibrant colours, and portraying sometimes ugly and desperate faces. He primarily chose his family as subjects and incorporated all the clutter of urban domestic life in his paintings (e.g. Still-Life with Chipfryer, 1954; London, Tate). It was this concern with social realism that brought Bratby into contact with Jack Smith (b.1928) , Edward Middleditch (b.1923) and Derrick Greaves (b.1927), and these artists became the main exponents of what critics dubbed 'the Kitchen sink school'. However, while the Kitchen Sink artists (also sometimes known as the Beaux Arts Quartet) shared a desire to depict the banality of a working-class domestic environment, Bratby's use of colours and his more middle-class surroundings distinguished his style from that of his peers.
