ADRIAN RYAN 1920-1998
Oil on canvas, 12 x 16 inches, signed..
Ex: artist’s family.
Adrian Ryan, once described as ‘the painter’s painter’, led something of
a charmed life. Educated at Eton and trained at the Slade School of
Fine Art, he lived between Suffolk, Cornwall and the south of France. All
of these elements are reflected in his painting - an admirer of Bonnard
and Soutine, his still life often featured fish - capturing the subtle lights
and colours of the fins and scales was something he returned to time
and again.
His work was purchased for the Tate Gallery among others.
