The countryside comes alive with Stanley Spencer 1891-1959

Stanley Spencer, (English painter, 1891 – 1959) Cottages at Burghclere

Stanley Spencer allows reality to dominate in his silent landscapes & intimate portraits.  My landscapes, he once wrote, are places waiting for their figures.  "My landscapes compared with my other work are carried out with a hard relentless persistence and dogged determination to go through with it, which gives them a competent and finished but lifeless and hard look," he complained. Once Spencer injects figures into his landscapes, they become stories & reality gets distorted.  "Distortion arrives from the effort to see something in a way that will enable [the painter] to love it."  Stanley Spencer, out of Sermons by Artists (1934)
