Percy Kelly Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1918 - d. 1993

As a child, English artist Percy Kelly roamed around the docks close to his home, drawing everything he saw. Though his teachers suggested he attend art school, his family of seven children was poor, and the prospects were untenable. The talent of painter, Percy Kelly was recognized and pursued by gallery owners, but Kelly rarely exhibited his work, and mostly refused to sell his paintings. Percy Kelly cityscape paintings for sale feature the heavy, dark lines for which his work is known. Drawn to the coast and its villages for inspiration, Kelly portrays a feeling of loneliness, his art evoking a deep emotional response from its viewer. Since his death, artist Percy Kelly's drawings and paintings are eagerly sought by collectors. Many paintings were discovered stuffed away in his cottage, or in collections he sent to friends for safe keeping. Enjoy the nuanced colors of vintage or collectible watercolor paintings for auction or for sale online.
