Charles Sims, RA, RWS (British, 1873-1928) Breton Maiden signed lower right "Charles Sims 1890" watercolour, in a gilded wooden frame 52 x 35cm (20 x 14in) Provenance: A gift from the artist to a friend in Islington and by descent Charles Sims was born in Islington, London. In 1890 he began to study painting and he enrolled at the South Kensington College of Art, before moving to Paris for two years at the Académie Julian from 1891-1892, under Benjamin Constant and Jules Lefebre. He then studied at the Royal Academy Schools from 1892 to 1895, where he was awarded the Landseer Scholarship. Sims painted portraits, landscapes, and decorative paintings. He was one of that group of artists who continued to paint symbolic and romantic themes after World War I. His Continental training accounts for his fluent handling of paint, and his confident treatment of space and atmosphere. These qualities rapidly gained him critical and academic success. He held a highly successful one man show at the Leicester Gallery in 1906, and 'The Fountain' was bought for the Chantrey Bequest in 1908. Academic honours followed. He was elected Associate of the Royal Academy in 1908, Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1911, Member of the Royal Watercolour Society in 1914 and a Royal Academician in 1915. He became Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools in 1920. The First World War proved to be a traumatic experience for Sims, from which he never recovered. His eldest son was killed and he was unbalanced by what he witnessed in France, where he was sent as a war artist in 1918. His subsequent paintings often show signs of the mental disturbance which led him to resign his post at the Royal Academy Schools in 1926. In 1928, Sims committed suicide. A study of his life by one of his sons appeared in 1934 (Charles Sims, ed. Alan Sims, Picture Making: Technique & Inspiration, London 1934) and a selection of his work appeared in the Last Romantics exhibition (Barbican Art Gallery, London 1989). Some foxing overall.
