Description
William Crozier,
Irish 1930-2011 -
Greta, 1962;
oil on canvas, signed on the reverse 'Crozier', 91.2 x 91.2 cm (ARR)
Provenance:
The Collection of Mary and Alan Hobart, Founders of Pyms Gallery, purchased c.2010
Exhibited:
Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol ‘William Crozier. Paintings 1959/63’, 30th March-26th April 1963, no.16;
Pyms Gallery, London, 'William Crozier: Early Work', 9th June-20th July 2010, cat. no.36, illus. p.63 (titled 'October, 1962')
Note:
a photo-record of the work is included in the Arthur Tooth & Sons archive, no.C3627.
The present work marks a major turning point in the artist's career as he came to full aesthetic maturity. He had held his first solo exhibition a few years before at the Parton Gallery in 1958 and in works such as 'Greta, 1962', he combines an understanding of European gestural painting with his own individual subject matter, isolating figures against a deeply coloured landscape in a manner reminiscent of Francis Bacon. The subject of the work is unknown, but at the time Crozier frequently made paintings referencing close female friends.
Crozier would exhibit a number of these works with the celebrated gallery Arthur Tooth & Sons, London, in 1962 and 1963, and they would help cement his work on an international stage. A number are now in public collections, such as 'Fallen Man II, 1961' (Glasgow Museums Resource Centre), 'Self-Portrait, 1961' (Ruth Borchard Collection) and 'White-Eyed Buzzard, 1962' (Kirklees Museums and Galleries). The interest in works by Crozier of this period has continued with the in 2011, the Imperial War museum purchasing ‘Bourlon Wood, 1961' in 2011 and the National Gallery of Ireland purchasing ‘Flanders Fields, 1961’ emphasising the importance of this period in the artist's oeuvre.
With thanks to the Estate of William Crozier for their assistance in the cataloguing of this work.
