Description
Henryk Gotlib,
Polish/British 1892-1966 -
Surrey landscape with trees and a gate;
oil on canvas, signed lower right 'Gotlib', 63.3 x 77 cm (ARR)
Provenance:
the Estate of the Artist, no.100
Note:
the work is similar in style to the painting 'Surrey Landscape' now in the Government Art Collection.
Gotlib was a key member of the Formist movement in Poland, which rejected the seemingly restrictive standards of Realism, still very much dominant in early twentieth-century Polish art, in favour of an expressionism which was heavily influenced by figures such as Egon Schiele and Max Beckmann. The looser, more fluid application of paint which defined Gotlib's best works become even more pronounced in his later decades, as he produced expressive works in a unique style highly informed by the effect of colour.
Works by Gotlib are in a number of prominent collections, including those of the National Portrait Gallery, the Tate Gallery, and the Courtauld Gallery in London, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff, among others. The artist had solo exhibitions at Roland Browse & Delbanco and Crane Kalman Gallery in London in the post-war era.
