[§] SIR WILLIAM RUSSELL FLINT P.R.A., P.R.W.S., R.S.W., R.O.I., R.I. (SCOTTISH 1880-1969) ON THE BEACH DINARD Signed, watercolour 25.5cm x 33cm (10in x 13in) Note: One of the most celebrated British watercolourists of the 20th century, Sir William Russell Flint is known for his remarkable technical skill and precision. Born in Edinburgh in 1880, Flint was first introduced to painting by his father before developing his skills at Banks and Co. Printers where he enrolled in a six year apprenticeship as a lithographic draughtsman. Although he is known for his watercolours he also painted in oil and tempera, and produced etchings. Flint was a member of the Royal Academy, and served as president of the Royal Watercolour Society for twenty years from 1936. He was further recognised in 1947, with a knighthood for his services to art, and later a solo exhibition at the Royal Academy. Painting in several countries including France, Italy, Switzerland and Scotland, Flint was captivated by the distinctive and unique character of the distant lands. However, his foremost fascination was the female form. This manifested in a wide range of depictions; spanning from flamenco dancers to his picturesque gypsies and languorous nudes. Today his work is exhibited in numerous institutions around the world including the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago. On the Beach Dinard depicts a sun drenched beach bustling with fashionable women immersed in various activities. The controlled broad washes perfectly capture the atmospheric effects of the idyllic scene. Flint produced a number of paintings depicting beaches from his visits to the coasts of England, Scotland, France and the Mediterranean Sea. The painting perfectly encapsulates the light-hearted spirit of age, whilst displaying his technical virtuosity.
