SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL (1874-1965)

 
An outstanding example of Churchill’s North African scenes, one in which he deftly captures the scenery and light that his artistic mentor, John Lavery, had told him about in the mid 1930s.  Another artist mentor, Walter Sickert, taught Churchill how to project photo images directly on to a canvas as an aid in painting, a technique used to advantage in this instance.  The Studio Archives at Chartwell include 5 photographs, one of the camel and four others, that Churchill used as aids.<br><br>With the visual aids, Churchill could focus on the vibrant colors, the tan of the sand and buildings contrasting with the brilliant blue skies, splashes of green adding energy to the painting.

Ein herausragendes Beispiel für Churchills nordafrikanische Szenen, in denen er geschickt die Szenerie und das Licht einfängt, von denen ihm sein künstlerischer Mentor John Lavery Mitte der 1930er Jahre erzählt hatte. Ein anderer künstlerischer Mentor, Walter Sickert, brachte Churchill bei, wie man Fotos als Hilfsmittel beim Malen direkt auf die Leinwand projiziert, eine Technik, die er in diesem Fall vorteilhaft einsetzt. Das Studioarchiv in Chartwell enthält fünf Fotografien, eine vom Kamel und vier weitere, die Churchill als Hilfsmittel benutzte.

Mit den visuellen Hilfsmitteln konnte Churchill sich auf die leuchtenden Farben konzentrieren, die Bräune des Sandes und der Gebäude, die mit dem strahlend blauen Himmel kontrastieren, und die grünen Farbtupfer, die dem Gemälde Energie verleihen. Eine andere Szene aus Marrakesch, der "Turm der Koutoubia-Moschee", stellte einen Auktionsrekord für Churchill dar, als es im Jahr 2021 für 11 Millionen US-Dollar verkauft wurde.
