1960s oil painting
by Pip on Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:17 pm
Originally bought, apparently, from one of the artists that sell their work on a Sunday along the Hyde Park railings in London. I just liked the colours and the sheer 60'sness of it - I bought it from the Bay of Fleas. It's an oil on board, signed with what looks like 'SEE' and in it's original frame. Any ideas anyone?

I don't know of the painter but the framing was done at Boots I think.

LOL yeah - Paul wants to re-frame it but I like it, it's got a thin strip of hessian in it!

according to the building, the ships and the doorgate I would say its somewhere made in the far east , probably Japan.
Think it's a mass production, made for big department stores. Don't think you will find any information on the painter.

I have to disagree there Fritz - it's an original oil on board painting - the artist has used a palette knife, it's very thick and textured in places - definitely not a mass produced print.
There were lots of artists selling their paintings by Hyde Park - I used to see them as a kid passing in the car on a Sunday (we used to go to a lot of restaurants and museums in central London during the 1960s and 70s). But I don't suspect it's anybody well-known particularly.

I bought this one not long ago.Signed and dated 1968.
They both seem to have that 60's abstract nautical look to them.Quite retro I think.
