 "The
Dairy, Fawley Court" 1940 by John Piper (1903-1992) - Watercolour
and drawing on paper. Piper lived near this Romanesque building
in Oxfordshire. In 1940 he was beginning to make works of art
out of his interest in British architecture. This is one of many
drawings in which he imitated the monochrome but very clear studies
by John Sell Cotman, who had drawn churches in Norfolk early
in the nineteenth century. |
