With Michael Parkin Fine Art, London, where acquired byLady DugdaleExhibitedLondon Artists' AssociationLondon, Michael Parkin Fine Art, William Roberts: An Exhibition of Paintings and Drawings, 17 November–4 December 1976, cat.no.1William Roberts met his wife to be Sarah Kramer in 1915 when he was twenty and she fifteen. The introduction was made by Sarah's brother (Jacob Kramer who had studied with Roberts at the Slade). Roberts was smitten instantly, but as with many young lovers of their generation the war intervened. Roberts returned from Ypres in 1918, the following summer a son was born to the couple, and they were married in 1922. The fledgling family unit entered the twenties living a somewhat impoverished existence, frequently moving between rented rooms, but revelling in the joyful life of bohemian London. As the decade matured so did Roberts's career meeting with success (both critically and commercially), providing much needed stability. As Andrew Gibbon Williams notes, 'As the 1920s drew to a close, he had every reason to feel optimistic about the chances of becoming a successful modern artist. He had acquired an impressive portfolio of collectors. The Contemporary Art Society was acquiring his works. One of his pictures was hanging in the Tate Gallery. Above all, as several tender portraits testify, he was still deeply in love. Whatever life might throw at him, the bedrock of his existence was firmly in place.' (Andrew Gibbon Williams, William Roberts, An English Cubist, Lund Humphries, Aldershot, 2004, p.72).In the pre-war years, at a prodigious age, Roberts was key in the development of the Vorticist movement, introducing the principles of Cubism to British art. Throughout the war, his application of these principles to the extraordinary scenes he witnessed resulted in some of the most affecting images of the conflict. Upon his return to London and throughout the twenties he continued to paint in a developed cubist aesthetic, and his subjects became increasingly documentarian in choosing. The bohemia he and Sarah enjoyed so much formed one strand; music halls and dance clubs at night provided memorable source material, and by day the urban arcadia of London's parks featured in works such as Bank Holiday in the Park (1923) and Figures in the Park (c.1924). In these the many richly described dynamics at play between the numerous protagonists are highly observational, and Roberts clearly finds interest in the hurling together of city dwellers who may have not met before, nor ever cross again. Yet a few works from this period draw from the more personal subject of family and appear to mirror that of the artist's own developing experience. The strife of family life on the breadline is explored in the claustrophobic squalor of The Poor Family (1921-22), a painting which contrasts deeply with the exuberant Happy Family of 1924 (Russell Cotes Museum, Bournemouth). The execution of these two works straddles 1923, the year in which Roberts was able to stage his first solo (and commercially successful) exhibition. Of the latter family park scene Gibbon Williams states; 'Everything about the picture is imbued with optimism: the central motif of the mother lifting her baby, the ball game behind her, the dozing father at the foot of the composition, even the pigeons' (Op. cit. p.69).The present picture could rather enigmatically sit in either camp. Its figures could be unknown to each other, only drawn together through chance as they seek a moments respite from the city. In the main they are introspective; one is lost in a book, another's attention drawn away from the scene towards a dog. One distant shaded figure escapes the sun that blushes exposed limbs elsewhere, observing another whose dozing head is precariously supported by a hand, threatening to fall to slumber. However, the cyclical arrangement in the fore could be read as a family group. Indeed, parallels can be drawn between the casts of The Happy Family and this scene; an observant mother, a playful child and a blissfully withdrawn father could each be identified in both. If so the narrative of the family unit from the turmoil of The Poor Family to the raucous commotion of The Happy Family is resolved by the quiet calm of In the Park.We are grateful to David Cleall and Bob Davenport for their assistance in cataloguing this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
