λ JOHN BRATBY (BRITISH 1928-1992) NUDE AND CAVALIER BOOTS Coloured pastel and graphite Signed, titled and dated November 1979 (lower right) 36.5 x 54.5cm (14¼ x 21¼ in.) Provenance: Julian Hartnoll, London John Bratby was born on 19 July 1928 in London. Bratby was inspired at age seventeen by his school art teacher Harold Watts, to pursue art. In 1948 through Watt's encouragement Bratby went to study at Kingston School of Art, then in 1951 he began to study at the Royal College of Art. Bratby used a harsh realistic style in his work, where he used thick layers of paint of vibrant colours and depicted scenes of desperate characters in domestic settings. This style was influenced by Vincent Van Gogh and Chaïm Soutine Bratby's style and social realist subject matter in his work is why he is considered the founder of the Kitchen Sink Realism movement. This movement focused on artists using thick laden paints to depict everyday household objects such as beer bottles, sinks and rubbish bins. This then led to the founding of the Kitchen Sink School which Bratby was a part of along with other artists such as Derrick Greaves Edward Middleditch and Jack Smith Bratby rose to immediate success with his work. He had a series of one-man exhibitions at the Beaux Arts Gallery in 1954. He was chosen to represent Britain in 1956 along with the other key members of the Kitchen Sink School.
