Description

A beautiful and strong modernist oil by Lincoln Pugh Jenkins(1901-1988), an artist strongly influenced by Cubism. His later work, such as the present painting, dating from the 1960s, concentrated on sunlight and patterns.

Jenkins was born in Presteigne, attended Leicester College of Art and became a member of staff at Birmingham School of Art, 1925. In 1939, he moved to Harrogate, and this was presumably the beginning of his love affair with the Yorkshire countryside.

Jenkins exhibited at the RA, City Art Gallery in Leeds and elsewhere widely in the north of England.

Measuring 31.5 x 40 cm, our oil on board is signed at the lower right. The overall size in a natural oak frame is 34 x 43

Modernist landscape painting in Britain often breaks away from strict realism, favouring simplified geometric forms, expressive brushwork, and a focus on the atmospheric qualities of the countryside.

Artists during this period frequently used artist-grade oil paints applied to prepared wooden boards, canvas boards, or hardboard panels, which provided a sturdy surface for textured and impasto brushwork.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate pigments, natural ageing of the oil medium, artist signatures or inscriptions on the reverse or front, and substrate materials consistent with mid-twentieth-century manufacturing.

An original landscape painting works well as a focal point above a mantelpiece or sideboard, paired with minimalist framing and complementary neutral wall colours to highlight the depth and colour palette of the artwork.

Oil paintings on board should be kept away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity. Cleaning should be restricted to gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush by a professional conservator if needed.
