Richard 'Dick' Lee (1923-2001) Behind Lichfield Street signed 'R. Lee' (lower right); further signed to the reverse oil on canvas 69.5 x 89.5cm Provenance: Estate of the artist Born in Bulawayo, then Southern Rhodesia, Richard 'Dick' Lee served in the Royal Navy before studying at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts between 1947 and 1950. Associated with the Euston Road School, Lee was inspired by the group's direct, observational style. In the early 1960s, Lee and his wife, Gillian, purchased a holiday home in Ingleville, Normandy. The landscapes and seascapes produced during this period are marked by their immediacy and tonal dexterity, capturing the true essence of the region. After receiving the Abbey Major Scholarship, in 1951, Lee and Gillian travelled extensively before returning to Camberwell, where Lee would go on to teach until 1982. Lee's work is held in several major public collections, including the Arts Council and the Imperial War Museum.

§ Dick Lee (British, 1923-2001) Cows at Ingleville signed lower right "Dick Lee" oil on canvas h:62 w: 75 cm Dick Lee taught at Camberwell School of Art for 30 years, and exhibited at Kettles Yard, Cambridge, John Moores, the Royal Academy and many more. 'Every mark Dick Lee makes falls into a geometric sequence which is constructed piecemeal from a central point. It is the presence of this geometry, together with his perfect eye for tone, that makes his work both unique and important.' Francis Hoyland, artist (British, b.1930) "Dick Lee was older than I which made a difference. When we met as students at Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts in 1947, I was only seventeen and he had just emerged from the Navy. He came from what was then called Southern Rhodesia and something of the space and light of Africa remained as a kind of secret treasure within him. War must have affected him, D-day, the Mediterranean, the Far East, always in danger and always the decent, brave heroic friend I knew for well over sixty years. He was my fellow student and my colleague as a teacher. He was certainly an artist, his independent stance in the face of trends and fashions, to which we have all been subjected, makes his work ring out with ever greater clarity and strength. It is possible to confuse the pictorial language of Dick's paintings with others of similar subject matter and of a neo-impressionistic nature. Others may lack the astringency he achieved and found necessary. His work is always rigorously abstracted, the abstraction so subtle that many fail to recognise it. There is no hint of 'imitation' or, in the bad sense, 'illustration' in his work; the way he drew and the strength and geometrical integrity of the impulse that led him from brush stroke to brush stroke precluded any weakness of sentiment or vision. Dick explored Europe, absorbing a wide culture. He gained scholarships to Italy and to Greece and for many years he spent his summers in France. Wherever he went he looked at pictures. The ever increasing knowledge he gained from the work of the past only strengthened his belief in his own paintings. Many of Dick's paintings were landscapes, he was a master of light and colour. An important series of paintings was on the theme of Joseph Heller's 'Catch22', a set of twenty-five of these remain in the Collection of The Imperial War Museum. Dick usually worked in oil but towards the end of his life he made a series of exquisite watercolours". Thoughts from Francis Hoyland - 5 July 2014 " .. and to see Lee's broad consummately assured handling of surface and image, the paint rich, the stroke so simple and abstract in itself yet so wonderfully evocative in its context and conjunction - is to know that here is painting so relevant to the moment as any Baselitz or de Kooning" William Packer - Financial Times 1995.

His work draws very much on the linear, clean styles of this group and he enjoyed working on the spot, concentrating mainly on interiors and landscapes. He returned to Camberwell School of Art in 1953-1982 as a tutor. Dick Lee has an impressive exhibition record both in England and abroad - showing with Francis Hoyland in France. More recently he exhibited with the New Grafton Gallery and Cadogan Contemporary. His work is held by the Arts Council, the Royal Academy and the Beaverbrook Foundation among others.

Richard D (Dick) Lee (British, 1923- 2001) Frank Bowling - a Notice for an Exhibition at William Darby, London, 1977 mixed media construction, in perspex case h:71 w:61 cm Other Notes: Dick Lee was born in 1923 in Bulawayo in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and moved to England to become a student at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts in South London. In 1953- 82 he joined the staff of Camberwell School and became a teacher. During 30 years of teaching Lee also gave to that institution his "notices". These were mixed media constructions, made up of scrap materials like timber, broken china, electrial flex, discarded brushes, disambered toys and other bits of junk. He portrayed colleagues and contemporaries, mainly painters and contemporaries like Frank Auerbach, Robert Medley, Patrick George, Tony Eyton, Frank Bowling and others. Lee is said to be one of the most sensitive and uncompromising objective painters of his generation. Works in Collections: Trinity College, Cambridge; Royal Academy
