⊕ DORA HOLZHANDLER (BRITISH/FRENCH 1928-2015) JRT AT HOME WITH HIS BOOKS signed, inscribed and dated DORA HOLZHANDLER 2005 PORTRAIT OF JOHN RUSSELL TAYLOR lower edge; signed, titled and dated on the reverse; oil on canvas; 49.5 x 39.5cm; 19 1/2 x 15 1/2in (65 x 55.5cm; 25 1/2 x 22in framed) Provenance: Piano Nobile Gallery, London (where presented by the artist to JRT in 2005) JRT and Dora Holzhandler were friends for many years. In the present work Holzhandler posed JRT seated on a richly woven rug, surrounded by his voluminous collection of books and his much loved Jack Russell Terrier 'Fei' at his feet, so named after one of the most famous concubines of the Tang period. ‘Innocent eye’ or ‘naïve style' are terms used to describe the style of Holzhandler's paintings, with their flat perspective, densely-patterned surfaces, graceful figures and pithy and unaturalistic compositions. Born in Paris to Polish-Jewish refugees Holzhandler moved with her family to London in 1934. After the War Holzhandler studied French literature at the Sorbonne and attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. On her return to London she enrolled at the recently opened Anglo-French Art Centre in St John’s Wood which promoted a very active visiting artists programme. There she met Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, Francis Bacon, Victor Pasmore and Jacob Epstein amongst many others. French artists also visited, including Fernand Léger, Andre Lhote and Germaine Richier. Holzhandler lived and worked in London for the next 50 years raising her family and producing a wealth of 'enchanting, richly decorative paintings of everyday, often specifically Jewish life'.
