Eric Henri Kennington R.A. (British, 1888-1960)Ruined Buildings signed 'E.H. KENNINGTON.' (lower right)pencil, gouache and chalk on paper46 x 58cm (18 1/8 x 22 13/16in).Footnotes:The present lot appears to be one of a series of landscape works executed by Kennington whilst working as an Official War Artist in World War One. Kennington's career as a War Artist began in the latter half of the war, after the artist received an honourable medical discharge in June 1915 due to a wound in the left foot. Initially, Kennington was affiliated with the Department of Information, and under their employment returned to France as an artist in 1917. It was in this period that Kennington began to execute his landscapes and 'hut-scapes', which depict the abandoned buildings and ruined countryside in Ribecourt, Havrincourt and Bourlon. These works, primarily executed in pastel, were in the words of the artist, a documentation of the 'oddity and sadness and compete novelty' of the decimated landscape in France during the conflict (J. Black, Eric Kennington and William Rothenstein and the Landscape of the Western Front, 1917-1919, in S. McDougall ed., William Rothenstein and His Circle, Ben Uri Gallery, London, 2016). Many of these drawings, of which more than fifty were produced, were shown at the Leicester Galleries in an exhibition titled The British Soldier', which took place in June and July 1918, and at a show at The Alpine Club in July 1920. Although critical attention during and after the war from fellow artists such as Orpen and art critics such as Frank Rutter, focused only on the artist's mastery as a portraitist, these haunting, unpopulated landscapes, which, in the words of Jonathan Black, give 'the impression of having only just been vacated by combatants whose fate was unknown', are as powerful in their illustration of the cost of war as his best known portrait works, such as Gassed and Wounded (J. Black, Eric Kennington and William Rothenstein and the Landscape of the Western Front, 1917-1919, in S. McDougall ed., William Rothenstein and His Circle, Ben Uri Gallery, London, 2016). As outlined by Emma Notfors, one of Kennington's primary aims as an Official War Artist was 'communicating the dire conditions' faced by soldiers on the Western Front (E. Notfors, An Outside View: Illustrations to the 1926 Subscribers' Edition of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, in Textual Cultures, vol. 10, no. 2, 2016, p. 12). Works such as the present lot, in addition to similar examples held in the Imperial War Museum collection including A Camouflaged Tent, A Shattered House and A Tree-Stump, form a vital part of Kennington's documentation of the reality of life as a British Tommy. Unlike many of the artists who were commissioned to depict the conflict, Kennington worked on or near the front-lines, and was of a similar age and service experience to the soldiers serving in combat positions. For this reason, Kennington was well acquainted with the realities of war, and throughout his career constantly strove to depict the true nature of the conflicts he documented, frequently at the expense of his own professional development. Often executed in-situ, and in less than forty-five minutes, these landscape works epitomise Kennington's focus on direct observation and objective documentation of life on the frontlines, a focus that was at odds with the overtly patriotic tone propounded by the Ministry of Information in this period.Formally, Ruined Buildings is a striking example of Kennington's mastery of the pastel, which remained one of the artist's primary mediums throughout his lifetime. In one of the only comprehensive studies of the artist's landscape works, Eric Kennington and William Rothenstein and the Landscape of the Western Front, 1917-1919, Jonathan Black describes how the pastel drawings suggest 'the forensic precision of Dürer's intense studies of the natural world combined with the lyrical Romanticism and mania for detail of the early Pre-Raphaelites' (J. Black, Eric Kennington and William Rothenstein and the Landscape of the Western Front, 1917-1919, in S. McDougall ed., William Rothenstein and His Circle, Ben Uri Gallery, London, 2016). The present lot showcases this meticulous attention to detail in its rendering of the semi-destroyed architectural structure, which dissolves into a landscape suggested by expressive swathes of colour. World War One heralded a change in Kennington's artistic style, which in 1914 was decidedly traditionalist (J. Black, Reading Behind the Lines: War Artists, War Poets, Reading and Letter Writing, 1917-1919, in E.G.C. King and S. Towheed ed., Reading and the First World War: Readers, Texts, Archives, Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke, 2015, p. 171). Kennington first rose to critical attention with his pre-War painting Costermongers (La Cuisine Ambulante), which was purchased by William Nicholson. The experience of working as an Official War Artist led Kennington to be more adventurous with medium and composition post-war, a change which can be seen when comparing this 1914 work with the ambitious reverse glass painting The Kensingtons at Laventie. Ruined Buildings, as a more casual study produced during the conflict, provides a unique insight into this artistic development. There is no doubt that Eric Kennington is best remembered as a portraitist. Laura Brandon's Art and War and Joanna Bourke's comprehensive survey of the field, War and Art: A Visual History of Modern Conflict, both include references to Kennington as a painter of portraits, with no reference to his proliferation of landscape studies (L. Brandon, Art & War, I.B. Tauris & Co Ltd, London, 2012, p. 43; M. Bohm-Duchen, The Two World Wars, in J. Bourke ed., War and Art: A Visual History of Modern Conflict, Reaktion Books, London, 2017, p. 112). Brandon goes so far as to use Kennington as a foil to Paul Nash, characterising Nash's focus on the landscape of war as a departure from tradition in comparison to the work of Kennington. Both authors overlook the artist's numerous depictions of the effect of war on the natural world, a preoccupation which prefigures the turn towards de-populated landscapes in 21st century war art. Often overlooked due to their small size and humble medium, pieces such as Ruined Buildings remain a reminder not just of the destruction of war, but of how, in spite of this, the natural world continues to flourish.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
