词条 Rodney Gladwell
释义

  1. References

Rodney Gladwell (1928–1979) was a British artist born in Didcot, Oxfordshire, England whose paintings "hover between abstraction and figuration and play on this ambiguity".[1]

Between 1949-1950, he followed in the foot steps of one of the greatest figurative painters of the 20th Century Amedeo Modigliani and studied in Paris at the Académie Colarossi. His work varied but a continual theme was his "heavily stylised female nudes".[2] He exhibited in London and Paris with the Piccadilly Gallery, before being taken on by the gallery owner Lucy Wertheim and towards the end of his career the noted Swiss dealer {{ill|Walter Feilchenfeldt|de}}.[3]

In the 1960s, he undertook several large commissions to paint extensive murals for Sussex University (where he was later given a retrospective exhibition) and the Georgian Club in London.[2] His work is held by the Arts Council of Great Britain and University of Johannesburg.[4]

In the 1970s, his work fell out of favour and he disappeared from the art scene.
