Mary Fedden OBE RA RWA, British 1915-2012 - Sand Buntings, 1982; watercolour and gouache on paper, signed and dated lower right 'Fedden 1982', 21.5 x 16.5 cm (ARR) Provenance: private collection, purchased directly from the artist in 1982; thence by descent (according to the label attached to the reverse of the frame) Note: Mary Fedden is one of the most beloved British artists of the twentieth century, known for her harmonious and carefully composed landscapes and still lifes. This work is an excellent example of her nature style, in its bright palette and flattened perspective, that is comparable with her contemporaries Winifred Nicholson and Anne Redpath. Married to the painter Julian Trevelyan, Fedden exhibited in major events such as the 1951 Festival of Britain and later taught at the Royal College of Art, where her students included David Hockney and Patrick Caulfield. Her works are in major UK collections, including the Tate, New Hall Cambridge and Bristol Art Gallery.
