The following ten lots by Thomas Hennell (1903-45)
Born in Kent, the second son of a clergyman, Hennell was something of a rural visionary, specialising in illustrations of British country crafts and craftsmen at work in and beyond the Home Counties. His friends Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious, who he first met in 1931, regarded his expressive ‘alla prima’ watercolours of a vanishing agricultural society, as ‘works of genius’. However, at the outbreak of war in 1939, Hennell wrote to the War Artists’ Advisory Committee, offering his services as an artist. Sent to Iceland to replace Ravilious (missing in action) in 1943, in 1944 he sketched German prisoners of war and the launch sites of V-1 flying bombs as he moved through the north of France with the Canadian First Army. Later based in the Far East with an RAF unit as the Japanese retreated, in November 1945 he was captured by Indonesian nationalist fighters in Surabaya, Java. He was presumed to have been killed shortly thereafter. A number of Hennell’s works are held by the Imperial War Museum.
