Lot 1153
Frederick ROBERTS JOHNSON (1900-1986) Polperro in the manner of Christopher Wood Oil on board, signed, 55cm x 69cm.Frederick Roberts Johnson and Arthur Wragg, two friends who met whilst training to become commercial artists, moved together to Polperro in 1924, staying at 'The House on the Props'. They had somewhat contrasting styles which somehow sometimes overlapped; Wragg's style was likened to David Low and Victor 'Vicky Weisz, sharing within his lifetime the same respect and public interest as the two aforementioned. His work was also regularly compared to that of Aubrey Beardsley, though Wragg's own heroes were Cruickshank, Albrecht Durer and William Blake, the latter being someone he was also compared to within his lifetime. Wragg's first book was hugely successful, having to be reprinted three times in one year and it became Book of The Year in America.Frederick Roberts Johnson was a very succesful commercial artist and was often the one who usually went to London in search of commissions for the pair. He often used the name 'Essex' or 'Sax', drawing funnies for Punch, Everyman magazine and Tribune, as well as advertisements for Lyons Tea Shops and producing dustjacket book illustrations for various authors. His style was more varied and experimental, with impressionism, cubism and abstract examples of his work within the sale. The work is unframed. Generally good condition, would benefit from a clean. It is painted onto very heavy cardboard, which has a 'soft' surface. The surface is stable and the colours are bright. There is 'dotting' which may be residue of historical damp (see photos). Some scratching into the paint surface is visible in a couple of areas but this is likely to be intentional by the hand of the artist.

After studying at Oxford and working for the BBC, he spent two years in the 1960s setting up a radio station in the Kiribati Islands. His deep connection to the Pacific led to many return visits, including work for a German museum, where he facilitated the export of an ethnic house for an exhibition.

Based in Windermere, in the English Lake District, his craftsmanship reflected the Movement's ideals, emphasising traditional techniques, high-quality materials, and integrity in design and production.Born in Darwen, Lancashire, into a family of industrialists, Davies initially followed a path that seemed far removed from craftsmanship. He studied history at New College, Oxford, graduating in 1915. During the First World War, as a conscientious objector, he refused to fight, choosing instead to join the Friends War Victims Relief team in France, building huts for refugees.After the war, Davies sought a simpler and more meaningful life. He apprenticed with Arthur Romney Green (1872-1945) at his workshop in Christchurch, Hampshire, where he learned the traditional woodworking techniques that would define his career. In 1926, with help from his father, he built his workshop, 'Gatesbield', in Windermere - designed by the architect Kenneth Cross - and worked there for the rest of his life.Davies was committed to handcrafting every piece of furniture in his workshop, rejecting industrialised methods. His designs emphasised simplicity, functionality and the natural beauty of wood. His works often featured oak and other fine woods, combined with restrained decoration, such as carved details or inlays. Each piece bore both his monogram and that of the craftsman, along with the date it was made, reflecting pride in their craftsmanship.After his death in 1978, Davies continued to inspire future generations of craftsmen, leaving behind a legacy of finely crafted furniture that is highly collectable today.The craftsmen working on this suite were Brian Braithwaite (c.1940-54), Richard (Lile Dicky) Cloudsdale (1908-1991), Ernest John Oldcorn (1894-1968) and Fred Ellison (1919-2003).Condition ReportAll pieces used.Table - some colour change to the extended leaves.
