Description

Maurice Prosper Lambert RA,

British 1901-1964 -

 

The Parachute, 1919;

 

watercolour and ink on paper, signed and titled lower right 'M. P. Lambert The Parachute' and dedicated and dated lower left 'to Penelope Spencer June 9th 1919', 54.8 x 37 cm (ARR)

 

Note: with thanks to Vanessa Nicolson, author of The sculpture of Maurice Lambert, for her assistance in the cataloguing of this work.

 

This early work by the artist was made while Lambert was training in the studio of sculptor Francis Derwent Wood (18711926) and working with his father George Washington Lambert (1873-1930). Vanessa Nicolson has noted how the angular, cartoonish style of the present work is characteristic of his work of this period. The subject matter and flattened, complex composition were clearly influenced by the Futurist and Vorticist movements of the WWI period.

 

Penelope Spencer was a celebrated ballerina, and there is a lithograph depicting the pair by Thea Proctor in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Spencer was a lifelong friend of Lambert's brother, the composer Constant Lambert (1905-1951), who famously painted by Christopher Wood.
