Staithes Group Art  |  Yorkshire and North Eastern Interest

<span style='color: #008080;'>Robet Leslie Howey 1900-1981</span>

Howey's most sought-after work is of coastal scenes where cumulous clouds, rendered in thick, impasto gouache reflect down into water. His ability to depict light echoes his Staithes Group heritage. It is unlikely that a better selection of Howey's paintings will be offered for sale again.

<span style='color: #008080;'>Richard Marshall (1944 - 2006)</span>

Richard Marshall gained his B.A. in Fine Art at Sunderland Art college in 1966 followed by a two year postgraduate course at the Slade School of Art. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute, Cambridge University, University College London, provincially and in Australia. We have handled his work for many years and are delighted with his new range of beach scenes which he is painting exclusively for ourselves. Favourite subjects include Scarborough, Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick and Bamburgh often with children playing and with donkeys.
Richard died in September last year and is missed very much. CLICK ON his name above to see these, are the last of his pictures that are available.

<span style='color: #008080;'>Tom McGuinness 1926-2006</span>

McGuinness worked as a miner, initially at Annfield Plain and then at Fishburn. He studied art part time at the Art School in Gladstone Street Darlington, and became a member of the Sketching Club at the Spennymoor Settlement. He has exhibited widely and his pictures of miners and their community is sought avidly by collectors of this genre. Very distinctive, his work is characterized by a thorough understanding of his subject, a wonderful sense of colour and a distinctive way of drawing figures, great emphasis being placed on an attenuated depiction of limbs. Our selection is from his sought-after earlier period when his colours combine richness with subtlety.

<span style='color: #008080;'>Frank Rousse fl.1897 - 1917</span>

Frank Rousse lived in Whitby, Ilford and Hadley in Hertfordshire. He worked for A. Tucker, the printer in Whitby as a postcard artist. Most of his work consists of watercolours of Whitby in an Impressionist style. He exhibited with the Yorkshire Union of Artists.
Exhibited: RA 2, RI 3.

<span style='color: #008080;'>Len Tabner b. 1946</span>

Former winner of the Sunday Times/Singer and Freidlander watercolour prize, Len Tabner trained in Middlesbrough, Bath and Reading. He generally paints very freely in watercolour on a large scale and is particularly well known for his depiction of seas and of industrial scenes. He lives at Boulby, close to Staithes.
We have several more large paintings by Tabner which aren't illustrated.

<span style='color: #008080;'>(Stephen) Frank Wasley 1848-1934</span>

Frank Wasley's work has its own distinctive style, making his illegible signature superfluous. It is powerful, atmospheric and I often find it to be very emotive through some strange interaction of these two elements. Since our early exhibitions of his pictures in the 1970s Wasley’s work has gradually become much better known and collected. He had the same drive to portray light and atmosphere as the Staithes Group and we have always believed his work to be of similar quality. We have now brought together the best selection of his work that we have had in stock for some considerable time. There has not been an opportunity to view, appraise and select from such a good body of his work for at least twenty years. We believe you will be favourably surprised by the level of his prices compared with the quality of his work. We are concentrating on pictures of Whitby for our exhibition at the Pannett.
