Mary Fedden OBE RA RWA, British 1915–2012 - The Blue House, 1962; oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left 'Fedden 1962', 51 x 60 cm (ARR) Provenance: Bohun Gallery, Henley-on-Thames; purchased from the above and thence by descent Note: Mary Fedden is one of the most beloved British artists of the twentieth century, known 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.
