ROBERT SARGENT AUSTIN Hackney Carriages Etching Signed in the plate Plate size 15.5 x 19.5cm Together with one other etching inscribed to John Platt Richard Platt was a young painter and lithographer in the mid 1950s when British art trod at the edges of abstraction and when barriers between high and low culture were being broken. His father, J G Platt from Lancashire, was a printer who gained a place at the Royal College of Art in 1920 when Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth were fellow students. He became an etcher, woodcutter and engraver and was the principal of Hornsey School of Art until 1965. Following national service Richard Platt also attended the Royal College of Art from 1950 to 1953, along with an eclectic batch of students under the new progressive head Robin Darwin, great-grandson of Charles. Platt bought his fellow students works; that of Peter Blake, John Bratby, Derek Greaves, Cyril Reason, Jack Smith, Joe Tilson and from Mr Bucket the caretaker, who liked to show them how to paint eyes. At Platt's wedding Bratby was his best man. Richard bought the monochrome 'Three Young Bathers' for £5 from Peter Blake, who was about to discard it. Platt wanted a more colourful picture but it was too dear at £15. In 1977 when Blake saw the painting in Richard's Falmouth home he realised he still had the photo from which it was done, saying there was not much ordinary colour photography in 1953. On the back of the painting can be seen the remains of art school portraits from the model, then still a traditional requirement. Richard Platt's work, like that of Smith, Greaves and Tilson, developed from the late 40's through to the early 60's from social realism towards abstraction. After leaving College he exhibited at the Leicester Galleries and painted a mural of a livestock market on the canteen wall of the Working Men's College, Camden. His adept and direct pen and ink drawings of situations and people at work or leisure were transposed into exceptional three colour lithographs and paintings. He left London in 1962 for Cornwall to attempt self sufficiency, to paint and to help raise Falmouth School of Art to national status and acclaim by inviting a wide range of out standing British artists, musicians, writers and poets to visit, to run courses and lecture. In the mid 60's Richard Platt turned to his other love, music. He became a musicologist and devoted his mind to the music of the English 18th century (the 'pop' of the time!) Richard developed Parkinson's and was unable to sign many of his lithographs and drawings himself. Diane Ibbotson, (Platt's 2nd wife) Falmouth, June 2017.
