Paul Hogarth was regarded as Britain’s pre-eminent water colourist, working within the tradition of Edward Lear and David Roberts by creating images of the faraway and exotic places of our world. These have appeared in his own books and lithographs and also in collaboration with such distinguished writers as Robert Graves, Graham Greene and Lawrence Durrell. He has illustrated a large format edition of Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year In Province’ and has painted water colours to illustrate and anthology of John Betjeman’s essays entitled ‘In Praise of Churches’.
Paul Hogarth’s work is held in collections worldwide including the British museum, and Library of Congress and the Victoria & Albert Museum. He has exhibited regularly in London at the Francis Kyle Gallery and was awarded the OBE in 1989 for his contribution to the Arts.
The series of prints created through the 1990’s were inspired by his extensive travels in the footsteps of DH Lawrence and Lawrence Durrell and sought to capture the feelings of the times that the two authors were experiencing whilst in the different locations. Hogarth breathes life into the familiar images of Sydney Harbour, Tower Bridge and Montmartre with his unique and spirited approach to colour and form. Santa Monica Beach portrays the fashionable resort once favoured by film stars in the 1920’s and Ranchos de Taos depicts the Old Adobe Mission set against the distant San Juan Mountains.
