African Landscape

Original Oil Painting on Canvas

by Adrian Paul Allinson ROI, RBA (1890-1959)

A superb original oil painting on canvas depicting a mountainous landscape in Africa by highly regarded Slade school artist Adrian Paul Allinson.  The painting is a wonderful example of the artist's landscape work in North Africa.  The painting remains in very fine condition, the canvas not lined and free of restorations or repairs.  There are some light accretions of dirt and grime which are only really apparent in the sky, the painting is generally clean, attractive and ready to hang, presented in it's original simple wooden frame.  The painting is signed lower right.

Adrian Allinson was born in London. Studied at the Slade School of Art in 1910-12, where he was a member of a notable group of students working under Henry Tonks, Philip Wilson Steer and Walter Westley Russell. Won a Slade Scholarship. Taught drawing and painting at Westminster School of Art , designed posters for British Railways and was scenic designer for the Beecham Opera Company. Exhibited at RA, New English Arts Club, RBA, Leicester Galleries, Galleries in Manchester, Bradford and Rochdale hold his work.  Allinson was a member of the great Slade generation that included Gertler, Nevinson, Stanley Spencer and Edward Wadsworth. A prolific exhibitor with the London Group between the wars, his work received critical acclaim for its technical excellence and distinct individuality. His use of strong colour and his landscape design owed something to the work of Derain. In an introduction to his retrospective exhibition at the Fine Art Society, Terence Mullaly observed: 'At his best Adrian Allinson was both a landscape painter and a figure and still-life painter who knew exactly what he was doing. His portraits are simple and extraordinarily direct, indeed one of the tantalising things concerning them is that although today the identity of the sitters has in many cases been lost, we feel we know them.' A great traveller, he worked in Munich, Paris, North Africa, Greece, Spain, Venice and Ibiza. He was also a talented sculptor, showing many examples at the London Group and serving on the committee of the 1930 London Group Open-Air Sculpture Exhibition held on the roof gardens of Selfridges & Co. He also exhibited with the NEAC and in later years he showed at the RA. He became a distinguished stage designer to the Beecham Opera Company and for a time was a teacher at the Westminster School of Art. In 1984 the Fine Art Society organised a retrospective exhibition of his work.

Art as an Investment

In these uncertain financial times tangible assets such as gold and art are being recommended as a safer alternative to stocks and shares by many leading experts. 

“Companies go bust, artists don’t,” said David Douglas an Irish art expert of the recent economic turmoil.

Damien Hirst's phenomenally successful sale at Sotheby's recently illustrates that high end art is able to prosper in an economic downturn.  Less well publicised are the examples of the many thousands of lesser known artists whose work continues to increase in price when offered at auction.
