Miles Peter Richmond (1922-2008)

Abstract Yellow Flowers

This superb British 1940's abstract expressionist oil painting is by noted founder member of the Borough Group artist, Miles Peter Richmond. Painted in 1947 it has another unfinished oil painting verso by the same artist. Richmond was a huge admirer and follower of David Bomberg, having studied under him. Indeed he followed Bomberg to Spain where he lived and worked for twenty years. Bomberg's influence can been seen in this painting with its bold brushwork and vibrant colours as well as incredible visual depth.  This is a fantastic example of British abstract art in the 1940's and of Richmond's work.
