Edward Morgan (1933-2009) - Signed & Framed 20th Century Oil Kippers

Description

An impressive oil painting by British artist Albert Edward Joseph Morgan (1933-2009). This beautifully impressionistic study shows a pair of kippers, cooked and ready for eating. The rich and earthy tones gives this artwork an everyday, domestic quality while remaining strikingly modern through the rapid and dynamic application of paint to board. Bearing aesthetic similarities with the abstract expressionist movement, Morgan successfully experiments with a style and form worlds apart from his signature 'roundism'. Well presented in a simple wooden frame with gilt effect detail and linen slip, as shown. Titled and inscribed on the reverse. Signed. On board.

Condition

There are pinhole marks to the lower corners of the board and light scuffing to the edges of the frame, as shown.

Size

Framed Size: 37.4 x 41.8cm (14.7" x 16.5")

Artist Biography

Albert Edward Joseph Morgan (1933-2009) was a painter, born in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. Working as a commercial artist, he designed advertisement materials for the confectionery company, Cadbury. He also produced many advertisements for local papers and gained much success as a lapel badge designer. However Morgan’s passion for fine art remained a constant and he began to develop a unique style he named ‘roundism’. Morgan based his ethos around the idea that nature is entirely based around the circle and rounded shape, stating; ‘it is man that has invented the straight line’.

Morgan’s artwork is both optimistic and celebratory in style, this is evident in his attitude towards art making; ‘For many years I painted in a realistic manner before creating this style... [it] gives me great contentment of mind. Painting has become an adventure, and for me each picture has a great meaning'. Morgan exhibited his work at the Royal Academy, the Laing Art Gallery, and the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
