Tristram Hillier R.A. (British, 1905-1983)

Derelict
signed 'Hillier.' (lower right) and dated '1951.' (lower left)
oil on canvas
22.9 x 15.9 cm. (9 x 6 1/4 in.)

Footnotes

Provenance
Miss N. Cullinan, Texas
Private Collection, U.S.A.

Derelict takes its composition from the left-hand portion of an undated drawing (Private Collection, U.K.). The right-hand portion of the same drawing contains elements seen in Hillier's painting Almería, Spain 1951 (Collection of Nottingham Castle), suggesting the present scene was also observed on the Andalusian coast. The small boat in the far distance, intricate netting, piled rags and discarded jerrycan or toolbox are all details Hillier has added following the drawing stage. The motif of a single run down and unseaworthy vessel, languishing ashore with the sea beyond is one that Hillier painted on a handful of occasions, including Hulks, 1957 (Collection of Glasgow Museums).

The Estate of Tristram Hillier is preparing a forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the Artist's paintings and would like to hear from owners of any works by Hillier. Please write to The Estate of Tristram Hillier, c/o Modern British and Irish Art, Bonhams, 101 New Bond St, Mayfair, London W1S 1SR or email britart@bonhams.com.
