John Bratby RA, British 1928-1992 - Sunflowers; oil on canvas, signed lower left 'Bratby', 152.5 x 101.5 cm (ARR) Provenance: the mother of the present owner was painted by the artist in 1985. She purchased the work from the artist during the sitting and gifted it to her son. Note: Bratby is known for his central role in the Kitchen Sink movement, depicting the mundane and everyday surroundings of a contemporary domestic interior and was therefore connected to contemporaries such as Jack Smith, Derrick Greaves and Edward Middleditch, exhibiting alongside them when representing Britain at the Venice Biennale of 1956. Bratby’s use of heightened and somewhat clashing colours and his flattening of the visual plane are typical features which define the artist’s work, revealing the influence of Fauvism, and also Van Gogh, in particular in the Sunflower paintings such as this. John Bratby studied at Kingston College of Art and the Royal College of Art, where he was taught by Carel Weight. His works are held in collections throughout the UK, including the Arts Council Collection at the Southbank Centre, the Government Art Collection, the Jerwood Collection, and Manchester Art Gallery, alongside many more. The stretcher of this work is inscribed 'Lionel Bart 1967'. Bart (1930-1999) was celebrated as a music composer, known for the musical 'Oliver!' and various hits for artists including Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones. Bratby painted a portrait of Bart which sold at Sotheby's in 2004. Please refer to department for condition report
