WILLIAM LIONEL WYLLIE R.A., R.E., The Pool of London, Tower Bridge raised

WILLIAM LIONEL WYLLIE R.A., R.E.
London 1851 – 1931 London

Wyllie’s first etching, commissioned in 1883 by Robert Dunthorne after Wyllie’s oil painting, which had just been bought from the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy by the Chantrey Bequest, Toil, Glitter, Grime and Wealth on a flowing Tide, celebrated shipping in the industrial Thames. The art critic Harry Barnett wrote in the Magazine of Art in 1889 “ Mr Wyllie …[depicts] the Thames as it is, with all its grime and much of its wonder, all its business and something of its pathos, and suggestions (always right and often vivid) of its contrasts of hurry and rest, its minglings of dignity and degradation, its material embodiment of British … prosperity, and its enormous testimonies to the dark romance of these coal-and-iron times. ”

Thames shipping, bridges and docks and London as a busy active port, continued to be reiterated themes in Wyllie’s later original etchings and atmospheric drypoints.

The Pool of London, Tower Bridge raised
251 x 344 mm

Original drypoint, c1910-20. Signed in pencil. On wove paper. Very faint mount-staining in the margins of the sheet.

Professor DAVID CARPANINI P.P.R.E., The Gelly Hill

Professor DAVID CARPANINI P.P.R.E.
Born Abergwynfi 1946

Though most of his adult life has been spent in England, with frequent visits to Italy, Carpanini’s etchings are largely devoted to the mining villages and landscape of South Wales. He exhibits regularly in Swansea and elsewhere in Wales, though also in London at the R.A., R.E. etc. These images speak to anyone who has grown up in an industrial town, whether in England or Wales.

Martyn Lewis, Derricks at Night

MARTIN LEWIS
Castlemaine, Australia 1881 - 1962 New York

Lewis’s father was a gold-mining engineer who emigrated to Australia from Pembrokeshire. After youthful travels in the Australian outback Martin Lewis briefly enrolled at the Art Society’s School in Sydney before permanently emigrating to the United States in 1900. By 1909 he was settled in New York. Largely self-taught he worked as a commercial artist for more than a decade. He made a number of etchings of New York City and its waterways before he went to Japan in 1920. Back in New York in 1922 he did not return to printmaking till 1925. He first exhibited etchings in 1928 in New York and in London. The following year his one-man show at Kennedy included impressions from fifty-five plates and was both a critical and financial success. Lewis gave up commercial work completely. Sadly the Depression cut short this success. He died virtually forgotten though today Lewis is enthusiastically collected and his etchings command high prices. Light and atmospheric effects in N.Y. City, determined by night or weather conditions, informed his best plates.
