He was evacuated to a farm on Shap Fell and after leaving school he served an apprenticeship in painting and decorating. His introduction to art, in particular painting, was gained through a series of illustrated talks given by a lecturer from the Extra Mural Department of Manchester University. In 1964 he moved to Cornwall where he worked full-time, allowing him to continue painting. During this time he became friends with the artist Dick Gilbert and later John Wells, Denis Mitchell and Alexander Mackenzie. Since the early 1980s he has lived in St Ives, working from a Porthmeor Studio overlooking Porthmeor Beach. The studio was previously used by the sculptor John Milne.

It became a mecca for artists; Nicolas de Stael and Picasso each owned properties here. The region grows lavender, mushrooms and a harsh red wine! John Piper was a painter, notably of architecture and landscape, a designer of stained glass, theatre designer, author and writer. He was born in Epsom and in his early years studied law, [1921-1926], working in his father’s law firm. From 1926 he went on to study Art at Richmond and Kingston, latterly at the Royal College, and it was here that he met and married his first wife Eileen Holding. He visited Paris and was absorbed by the abstract painters he met there, influencing his style from the early 1930s. But by the late 1930s he had reverted to representational work. In 1937 he worked, along with John Betjamin, on the famous Shell series of guide books. His first solo show, of collages and drawings, was at the London Gallery in 1938. At this time he was also a prolific writer, working for the New Statesman and the Athenaeum. His stained glass window designs include Coventry Cathedral and Christchurch College Chapel, Oxford. He also created tapestries for Chichester Cathedral, Hereford and Llandaff. In the 1960s and 1970s Piper spent time painting extensively in Pembrokeshire. Retrospectives were held at The Museum of Modern Art, Oxford in 1979 and The Tate Gallery in 1983. Centenary shows were at Pallant House and Goldmark Gallery. John Piper lived in a derelict farmhouse at Fawley Bottom, Oxfordshire with his second wife Myfanwy Evans. In later life he suffered from dementia and died at his home in 1992. 53 281 British School 20th Century Cassis, French Riviera indistinctly signed and dated 1957 bottom left inscribed bottom right oil on board 43 x 60cm. £100 - 150 282 • Robert Borlase Smart [1881-1947] Workman in a shipyard signed bottom right oil on board 38 x 44.5cm. £200 - 300 283 Attributed to Eliot Hodgkin [1905-1987] ‘Seeds’ inscribed on the reverse ‘no.2 Seeds 1953’ watercolour 12 x 19cm, possibly a page from a sketchbook. £300 - 500 54 284 • Maxwell Ashby Armfield [1881-1972] Peurto de Soller, Mallorca signed with a monogram bottom right further signed, inscribed and dated Nov.1953 on the reverse tempera 17 x 17.25cm, unframed. £1200 - 1800 Maxwell Ashby Armfield was born into a quaker family at Ringwood, Hampshire.

  • Geoffrey Key Messums London 2013
    2013 an exhibition of works by 2013 Front oil Cover on canvas 91.5 x 121.9 cm (36 x 48 in) 1 Studio Campion, 2012 For almost fifty years now, Geoffrey Key has been one of the most successful and recognised names in Northern contemporary art. His boldly stylised landscapes, still lifes, equestrian and figure subjects – long sought after Forewordby Manchester and Salford’s private collectors and institutions – now evidently inspire the work of several succeeding Northern painters. And yet, while he has often shown his work to international acclaim, Key chose to build his success largely on his own patch, and always on his own terms. In 1966, while many of his peers were participating in the Northern Young Contemporaries exhibition at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Key, who had not been invited, opened a one-man show at the Salford Art Gallery. Art critic for the Daily Express, William Hickey in his glowing and curators as ‘one of the best local artists, untouched review of the show quoted dealers and collectors who by Lowry-mania’; ‘one of the, if not the best artist praised Key, alternately terming him “the best thing working in the area’; ‘an immensely gifted artist’; to come along since Lowry”, and “nothing like Lowry.” ‘a consistent ambassador for [Salford]’, and so on. Other critics followed with favourable comparisons to Henry Moore and Keith Vaughan, but these too were If Key found this growing acclaim flattering (and why subsequently termed “superficial.” In the catalogue essay not?) it clearly had no bearing on how his work grew and accompanying Key’s Industrial Paintings exhibition, developed, as it did very prolifically.

Its roots may lie in baroque Italy, but in its later variations – Punch and Judy shows, vaudeville and pantomime – commedia dell’arte became something wholly British, and like Key’s 2001 ‘Clown’ series, these works were partly inspired by Key’s childhood memories of the Belle Vue Circus in Groton, Manchester and pantomimes at the city’s Ardwick Hippodrome. Never one to trade in nostalgia however, the series also grew from his observation of local street performers, renowned for their variety and tenacity. (Busker and local institution Noel Ward is well known for playing in the dead of winter with only a blanket over his shoulders.) While not exactly ‘theatrical’, Manchester’s cityscape offers mimes, actors and musicians a variety of ad- hoc performance venues. Much of the centre has been pedestrianized and the concrete facades of Piccadilly Collectors in Lancashire and Cheshire, Wales, Ireland and Scotland have long prized Geoffrey Key’s boldly Forewordstylised paintings.

  • Decor Gallery 2015
    2015 - CELEBRATING GEOFFREY KEY – Our Collection – Foreword Demonstrably recognised as one of the nation's most important contemporary artists, Geoffrey Key is a master of line, form, colour and tone, who expresses with eloquent artistic language a vision shot through with perception, wit, joy and beauty. Since our Retrospective Exhibition in 2010, which saw the majority of paintings form new and enrich many existing collections, his work has set record auction prices for Northern Contemporary art and his two London shows have helped to build on his international standing. So it is with great pleasure that we are showcasing Geoffrey Key - Our Collection - in this our celebratory Art Decor Gallery Retrospective Exhibition, 2010 25th anniversary year. A selection of over forty oils, works on paper and sculpture which have been thoughtfully chosen over a period of two years dating from 1963 to Sometimes no reason can be given why a work is liked, the present day. Covering many themes including two sometimes that time is needed to unravel the deeper works from the very successful Clown series and the meanings within. Interestingly, reference is often made magnificent bronze sculpture Reclining Figure with Bird. to how the paintings encourage examination and allow the finding of hidden detail. This is something Geoffrey We are immensely grateful to the artist & art historian, invites the viewer to do. By introducing tension within a Michael Howard, author of many books including painting, creating linkages to 'hold the eye' resolving a L.S. Lowry: A Visionary Artist, for kindly providing a most painting essentially becomes something akin to solving a interesting and informative commentary on the work of mathematical problem .
