Henry Lamb
Mid Century Portrait Post Impressionist Oil of Henrietta Phipps artists daughter

1956

About the Item

Mid Century Portrait in Oils of artists daughter the renowned horticulturist Henrietta Phipps. Large oil painting of his beloved first daughter and a toned plain background that perfectly showcases Henry Lamb's amazing facility with colour. He takes on an almost Gaugin like quality with his careful colour choices. Henry Lamb MC RA 1883 - 1960 Henry Lamb is still to my mind seriously underrated and undervalued. His work is always stirring in some ways, even his portraits have enigmatic quality. His backgrounds are also sublime, he blends colours that often don't look like they belong together. Henry Lamb was a pupil of Augustus John, who remained a lifelong friend and supporter of Lamb's work. Lamb had a longstanding relationship with John's wife Dorelia, he was also pursued relentlessly by Lytton Strachey whose portrait is probably his most famous and striking. Born in Adelaide and moved to England to study, he later moved from Poole and eventually settled in Coombe Bissett, near Salisbury where he died in 1960. Henry Lamb is such an important painter from the 20th Century, a founder member of both the Camden Town Group in 1911 and the London Group in 1913. Perhaps one of his most famous works is the amazing portrait of Lytton Strachey now housed in the Tate Gallery and possibly one of the most striking portraits of that era. His second wife was Lady Pansy Pakenham and they had three children together, Henrietta the first born. Henrietta (nee Lamb) was herself a famed landscape gardener and worked for Kensington and Chelsea Council and landscaped a number of their public areas. It is signed and dated 1956. It is housed in a beautiful handmade gilt frame. Kind Regards
