- Lot Description
Oil on board, signed lower right. Impressionistic scene with house and two figures on horseback. 14 3/4" x 10 1/2", framed to 16" x 12". Presumably from the country estate, Tree Tops in Epsom, South of London, where Taylor made several of his well known later in life works. Taylor was born to a wealthy family and Leeds and grew up with a great deal of illness. After training in architecture, Taylor travelled to Paris where he began painting and met Walter Sickert, who would be a lifelong friend. He then studied under Fred Brown at the Royal College of Art, and exhibited solo at the Grafton Gallery in 1911. Taylor went on to become one of the founding members of the Camden Town Group, and travelled Europe extensively, meeting and collecting the work of many renowned modern painters. Taylor stopped exhibiting in the 1930’s but kept painting until near the end of his life, with his work growing more colorful and free in his later years, with the influence of these European artists. The Leicester Galleries hosted a memorial exhibition of Taylors work in 1944, the year after he died. His work is held by the Tate and the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery.
