REGINALD BRILL (1902-1974) Mr Turner restoring the Barn inscribed and dated 'Mr Turner restoring the/barn, 1961' (lower right) ink and grey wash 12 1/4 x 18 1/2 in. (31.7 x 47 cm.) Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner's parents and by descent. Mr Turner restoring The Barn was executed from Reginald Brill’s home in the 1960s, the Little Hall. Brill and his wife Rosalie moved to Lavenham to be wardens of a Tudor house, which was owned in the past by one of Brill’s early patrons Col T.G.Gayer-Anderson and his twin brother. They bequeathed the place to be a hostel for art students.Brill, who spent his life working with young artists, continued this during his retirement. The current drawing with its beautifully rendered details captures the process of restoration to Molet House, referred to by the locals as ‘The Barn’. Dating from 1480, the Barn has an extensive history with Catherine of Aragon and the Earl of Oxford as some of its most renowned historic visitors.The present owner of the work’s parents bought the place in 1960 and took its restoration to heart. Here one can see the Lavenham Primary School on the left and the home of Lady Malleson (wife of actor Miles Malleson) to the right. It is the first time that this piece is shown to the public. Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.

IRELAND Signed l.r.: Reginald Brill watercolour 25.5 x 40cm Provenance: The artist's studio Brill was born in London. From the age of 13 he was taking night classes at St Martin's School of Art and in 1921 he won a scholarship to The Slade where he studied under Tonks, 1921-24. In 1927 he won the Prix de Rome for Decorative Painting and was at the British School in Rome 1927-9. He taught at Blackheath School of Art before spending 3 months painting in Egypt in 1930. In 1934 he took up an appointment at The School of Art, Kingston upon Thames. His energy and enthusiasm revolutionized the department and within 5 years a purpose built School of Art was opened. He became principal of the school at the age of only 30 and had transformed it into one of the most respected art schools in England. Brill published two books; Modern Painting in 1946 and Art as a Career in 1962. He valued drawing as the solid base for his work and his narrative and social realist paintings reflect his interest in people and every day events. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, Leicester Galleries and in East Anglia, where he lived, at Lavenham. This work was executed in 1933. In her biography of Brill, Judith Bumpus commented on the artist's painting trip to Ireland: "In 1933 he visited Donegal, where the lochs and mountains, particularly in the area around Muckish, inspired some of Brill's most spontaneous and purely painterly watercolours. Nowhere else did he take such obvious pleasure in capturing the richness of the landscape: the vivid, moist colours, the patterns made by the vegetation and cloudy skies, and the swiftly changing light so characteristic of this area." (Bumpus, Reginald Brill, 1999, p.18).
