POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

My darling, eccentric, idiosyncratic, infuriating, adored Dad died on Saturday morning. It was peaceful and painless after months of struggling.

From an early age Dad taught me how to look, really look, at works of art. He was an old master drawings dealer all of his adult life having landed a traineeship at Sotheby's after putting on a DIY show of prints that caught Carmen Gronau's attention. He quickly became a junior partner, taking sales in Italian, which he didn't speak, and being applauded for his bravery..

Shortly after I arrived Dad set up his own gallery in Bond Street, where he remained until retiring a few years ago, most recently working alongside James Faber @dayfabermasterdrawings.

To the end he was checking out drawings for sale and advising friends and colleagues on whether something was worth buying.

His memory was phenomenal. He could tell you who had bought a drawing for what collection and when.... and whether it was any good. His love and knowledge of Rembrandt, amongst many other artitsts would have gained him a PhD.

He never went to University, national service put paid to that. He leaned by looking, listening and reading. I learned so much. He'd bring drawings home, and ask us to tell him what we thought, and then we 'd discuss it. I was probably at art school when I figured out how special this gift he'd given me was.

He painted throughout his life. The hardest thing right now is seeing the empty chair at his painting desk, and not hearing the squeak of it as he sat back to think.

I can't quite believe he's gone.

I am currently designing a window display for @volteastbourne which will be installed this month! Last week I found out that I won the competition and I’ve never won a competition before 😍⁣

Re: #TApchat 'Think Global, Act Local' - this is an international collaborative drawing I mentioned during our talk. My friend Roshan Chhabria from Baroda, south India, sent me this drawing he had made of a man smoking and drinking tea. I added my drawing of a 19th century political agent, Major Nixon, who is also smoking. In this way Roshan and I 'share' a physical place together which is also taking part in Victorian India and online, subjective images of real people.

Ahead of the film screening of Back and Forth next week (tickets only £4!), @lucydayherethere gives her verdict: ...
‘This is an amazing film which I was lucky enough to see as one of the selectors for the commission. So glad it's having another outing.
...
Curators and programmers across the UK, do check it out if you can as it really deserves a wider outing. Fascinating, poignant film about the complexities of economic survival and the affect of change on individuals, communities and islands, literal and of one's own making.’
...
The screening for Back and Forth is on Wednesday 26 February, 18.00hrs. Tickets available on our website (in bio). Created by artist/ filmmaker Artist Dmitri Galitzine and commissioned by Lift the Lid on Island Culture.
...
Guest Curators:
Jo Bushnell @jobushnell
