John Piper (British, 1903-1992) Hafod signed, titled in pencil verso, watercolour and ink and with pencil sketch drawing of the Hafod estate to the reverse inscribed in pencil `Hafod looking east across the valley at the house` 15 1/2" x 19 3/4". Provenance: with Ernest, Brown and Phillips Ltd., The Leicester Galleries; Ernest Hilton Fine Art Dealers, Cambridge Exhibited: Ernest, Brown and Phillips Ltd., The Leicester Galleries, Artists of Fame and Promise: Part II, August 1949. This picture Hafod is characteristic of a series of paintings Piper composed at the outset of the Second World War in 1939 and the early 1940`s, with its rusty colours and barren, but romantic visualisation of the Welsh landscape. In August 1939, John and Myfanwy Piper travelled on holiday to Wales, eventually reaching the house and estate of Hafod in Cardiganshire. The estate had previously attracted the artists John Warwick Smith and John Sell Cotman, presumably because of its reputation as one of the finest examples of the European picturesque landscape. Piper considered it `a dream` and wrote: `The crumbling green mountains are Hafod`s natural scenery. Up here there is a bare region that stretches for miles to the east and south. It is a landscape to be seen in summer evening light, with its grey stone patches, its deep brown gashes of peat in the bog and occasional peat stacks, and its dark blue lakes. The Hafod valley…has been decorated artificially, but so exquisitely that its beauty is as great in decay as it was in youth`. Rather than creating a pastoral landscape in the grand manner as was common for landscape painters, Piper depicts in Hafod a modernist romantic vision of Britain, far distant from the imminent preparations for war being made in England, but as Piper writes where `Tragedy, on the whole, has triumphed…the woods up the valley are dishevelled…but the beauty of the whole place in decay is overpowering`. (both quoted from John Piper, Decrepit Glory: a Tour of Hafod, The Architectural Review, LXXXVII, June 1940, pp.208-210) This picture was possibly also included in Piper`s first solo exhibition of the war at The Leicester Galleries as Hafod across the valley (no.1).
