Jean Dryden Alexander (1911-1994) - Original 1984 Gouache. Signed to the lower right, dated and inscribed to the reverse 'East Terrace / Wallow on the Naze'. Signed and dated and inscribed. On wove. Condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and a few tiny surface spots. A miniscule tear to the lower edge, not affecting the main image. Jean Dryden Alexander was the youngest daughter of watercolourists Robert Graham Dryden Alexander and Effie Alexander. Born in 1911 in Essex, her artistic influence stemmed from her parents and their artist circle of friends, who included Hercules Brabazon Brabazon and Sir George Clausen. The whole family spent as much time as possible painting en plein air around Essex and its coastline.
Jean was educated at Queen Anne’s School, Caversham and studied art at Chelmsford Art School (1928-1931). She won a scholarship to the Slade School of Art (1931-1935).
Exhibitions Include: The Royal Academy, The New English Art Club, The Society of Women Artists and The Whitechapel Art Gallery.For more information please click here.
