Lot 1
Ruskin Spear, R.A., 1911-1990. man with chrysanthemums, signed, oil on canvas, 122x91.5cm.; 48x36in. The sitter of the present work is Tom Chalk, one of Spear's regular pub going friends. Having won a scholarship to Hammersmith School of Art when he was only 15, Spear quickly became well known for his paintings of common place scenes and situations in and around Hammersmith, West London.. The pub interior and the ordinary people who frequented them were amongst his favourite subjects and the present work is extremely similar in composition to another pub interior entitled Old Woman and a Rose (see Royal Academy of Arts, Ruskin Spear, A Retrospective Exhibition, London 1980, no.62, illustrated on p.32).. In the present work, the accumulation of every day details such as the sitter's flatcap, the pint of beer down to the advertising poster on the wall, re-creates a typical post war scene that is, as Robert Buhler concluded of Spear's work in the 1980 Retrospective, 'clearly stamped "Made in England"'. Exhibited Glasgow, Royal Institute of Fine Arts, 1960, no.34 Bournemouth, Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum,
