Description
British Naive School, 19th Century The Water Police Station boat off the Bahamas oil on canvas 54 x 70.2cm (21 1/4 x 27 5/8in). Footnotes: Provenance With the Rutland Gallery, London. Exhibited The Scottish Arts Council, catalogue no. 27, lent by Mr and Mrs A. Kalman. Christopher Bibby was a London-based dealer (operating as the Rutland Gallery) and collector of naïve or primitive pictures and was instrumental in bringing these to the notice of the buying public. He donated three works to the important holding of primitive pictures and artefacts at Compton Verney in 2014, the core of which was the collection of another art dealer, Andras Kalman which Bibby had helped to build. Kalman's collection had been acquired by the Peter Moores Foundation in 1993 and, now known as 'The British Folk Art Collection', is on permanent view at Compton Verney in Warwickshire. Christopher credited Kalman with opening the eyes of the public to early naïve art – 'I first met Andras Kalman in 1959. He really was the first to say that we should take these kinds of Folk Art pictures seriously. An émigré from Hungary, he really wanted to show the British how important these works were. When I owned the Rutland Gallery I had 'runners' working for me who sourced many pictures for him and these make up about three quarters of the paintings which are now owned by Compton Verney.'
