Maggi Hambling CBE (b.1945)
Oil on panel
“August Sunrise” (North Sea painting), inscribed, signed and dated 66 verso, labelled verso, with David Messum Gallery receipt dated 2007, 8cm x 21cm
From the collection of the late Maurice Costley
Maggi Hambling is a British artist, both a painter and sculptor who was born in Suffolk. She went to the Camberwell School of Art and then the Slade. Her body of work includes many portraits but her love of the Suffolk Coast leads her back time and time again to themes of the sea, waves and scallops, saying that water is the metaphor for life. Also know for her portrayal of friends and family after death, Maggi Hambling has always been a controversial figure, particularly with regard to her public sculpture. She received the Jerwood prize in 1995 and her work appears in many public collections including the Tate, National Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Woman wearing a green cloche hat, 1920’s, from an exhibition June/July 2021, catalogue no.25, signed, Browse & Derby label verso, 12cm x 11cm
From the collection of the late Maurice Costley
Gwen John was born in Wales and studied at the Slade followed by the Academie Carmen in Paris. During her years in Paris, John met most of the leading artists of the day, including Rodin for whom she modelled. John exhibited her work for the first time at the New English Art Club in 1900. Her paintings, although there are some still lifes, are mostly sensitive portraits of lone females, usually anonymous. John lived and worked mostly in Paris. Her reputation during her lifetime was overshadowed by that of her brother, as well as by her relationship with Rodin.
However since her death, her reputation has been redeemed and in some circles she is thought of as the more talented of the two Johns. Her pictures are held in many public collections including the Tate and the National Museum of Wales.
