Footnote: Exhibited: Richard Green Gallery, London, 'Ken Howard, A Painter's Journey', 2017, catalogue no. 25. Condition Report: Original canvas. There are some tiny dark scattered speckles to the sky in the upper left where it appears the paint beneath is showing through. On very close inspection there are a couple of very light, superficial surface scratches to the sky, however in our opinion the work presents very well overall. Ultraviolet light reveals pigments which fluoresce but no obvious signs of retouching. Held in a gilt and painted wood and plaster frame.

(46 1/2 x 55 in.) The Extraordinary Everyday: A Single Owner Collection Including Works by Carel Weight and Ruskin Spear (Lots 18-57) Notes: Ken Howard occupies a distinctive position within post-war British painting. He is celebrated for his luminous depictions of urban life, interiors, and coastal subjects, works that reconcile the observational immediacy of plein-air painting with a sustained concern for atmosphere and light. Although born in London, Howard forged a deep and lasting connection with Cornwall, later settling near Mousehole where he established a studio in a converted schoolhouse. The beaches of west Cornwall became some of his most enduring subjects, offering an environment in which changing weather, shifting tides and human activity could be observed in continual transformation. Among these locations, Sennen, situated on the Atlantic coast near Land’s End, proved particularly significant. Rather than treating the beach as a picturesque motif, Howard approached it as a setting in which light could be studied in its most dynamic and elusive forms. Light remained the central concern of Howard’s art. Throughout his career, he sought not simply to record the appearance of a place but to communicate the experience of seeing it, revealing familiar subjects through the effects of illumination, reflection and atmosphere. His repeated return to Sennen reflects this enduring preoccupation, as the expansive shoreline and reflective surface of sea and sand provided ideal conditions for exploring the transient qualities of natural light. In the present work, Howard adopts a strongly backlit composition, positioning the viewer on the beach as sunlight shimmers across the water and wet sand. Figures are silhouetted against a field of dazzling reflected light, their forms reduced to essential outlines and gestures. A standing pair near the centre of the composition provides a visual anchor, while bathers and beachgoers are dispersed across the shoreline in an arrangement that conveys the spontaneity of the scene. Howard’s brushwork is fluid and economical; broad passages of colour are enlivened by swift, assured touches that evoke movement, reflection and atmosphere rather than descriptive detail. Characteristic of Howard’s finest Cornish paintings, the work demonstrates the artist’s ability to transform an everyday coastal scene into a compelling study of perception and light. The beach itself becomes secondary to the visual experience it affords, exemplifying the qualities that have secured Howard’s reputation as one of the most accomplished painters of light.

    ▲ Ken Howard RA (1932-2022) 'August Bank Holiday', 2004 signed 'Ken Howard' l.r., inscribed with title and dated '04' on stretcher verso, oil on canvas 91 x 183cm Provenance: With Richard Green. This expansive canvas by Ken Howard RA is one of the most impressive and ambitious works by the artist to come to auction in recent years. Painted in 2004, 'August Bank Holiday' showcases Howard’s masterful handling of light and composition on a grand scale. Howard frequently painted beach scenes and had a long-standing connection to Cornwall, where he maintained a studio in the fishing village of Mousehole. It’s a painting full of warmth, movement and colour - capturing the spirit of a British summer holiday with the clarity and confidence that defined his mature style. Ken Howard was widely admired for his exceptional ability to capture light with both precision and sensitivity. Whether painting the busy streets of London, the shimmering canals of Venice, or the rugged harbours of Cornwall, his work consistently reflects a deep understanding of how light defines space and atmosphere. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1991 and remained committed throughout his career to painting from life. Working en plein air was central to his practice, allowing him to respond directly to his surroundings and to distil the essence of a scene with immediacy and clarity. His paintings are not only technically accomplished but also rooted in a genuine connection to place and moment. 'August Bank Holiday' reflects Howard’s love of everyday life and his instinct for turning fleeting moments into something lasting. The scale, assured brushwork, and luminous palette make this a standout example of his later work - full of vitality and the joy of a day at the beach. Condition Report: Framed: 116 x 206cm Appears to be in good condition. Well presented and ready to hang. Not examined under UV light, for a full report please contact the department.
