Dame Elizabeth Frink, Rolling Horse
Margaret Howell: “I like her animals and birds. They are real. In British art, horses are often portrayed as noble or romantic. Frink’s horse seems to want to scratch it’s back and doesn’t care about it’s dignity.”
David Hockney, Ossie Clark Reading
MH: “Hockney is a great communicator in both pictures and words who has always experimented with new ways of communicating. This early drawing is particularly fresh and sensitive, with an assurance of line.”
Sir William Nicholson, Tenterden
MH: “William Nicholson is a beautiful and, for me, near perfect painter – the equal of Manet.”
Lucie Rie, An Impressive Footed Bowl
MH: “There is great beauty in everything I have seen of Lucie Rie’s work. Function raised to the level of art, yet unassuming.”
