Trained at Westminster and at the Académie Julian in Paris, Robert Bevan was a founder member of the Camden Town Group in 1911, and from 1914 of the London Group. It was on his second visit to Pont Aven, 1893-94, when he met Gauguin, whose influence is seen in the early lithographs, that Bevan had made his first lithograph. In the following six years Bevan made a further twenty-five lithographs before he abandoned the technique. It was only in in 1919 that he returned to lithography. With a single exception, all the lithographs of this later period were based on his oil paintings. In the later lithographs Bevan uses a ‘blocky’ technique to create form.
Based, in reverse, on an oil of the same title, painted in 1919 at Lytchetts, the cottage he rented at Clayhidon on the Devon-Somerset border. Bevan and his wife, permanently based in Swiss Cottage, regularly spent summers painting in the West country.
Dry 37, only state. The stone monogrammed. On smooth wove, a little cockled in the side margins.
