John Piper C.H. (British, 1903-1992)

Flowers IV
signed 'John Piper' (lower right)
chalk, ink, watercolour and gouache
57.8 x 79 cm. (22 3/4 x 31 1/8 in.)

Footnotes

Provenance
With Waddington Galleries, London
Mrs. M.L. Stone
Private Collection, U.K.

Age and some health issues meant from 1985, when Flowers IV was likely painted, John Piper turned more to his own garden for inspiration and subjects. Waddington Galleries put on three exhibitions including these works in 1986, 1988 and 1989. The present work is a precursor to the large oil on canvas Summer Flowers I (1985/6), exhibited in the 1986 show and went on in 1987 to become a popular etching titled Dahlias and Ferns (Levinson 391).
