    § John Frye Bourne (British 1912-1991)

    Est: £1,500 - £2,500

    § John Frye Bourne (British 1912-1991) The Lacrosse Girl, 1950 signed 'JF Bourne' (lower right) oil on canvas 124 x 69cm Footnote: Born in Hampstead in 1912, John Frye Bourne’s childhood was blighted by recurring bouts of sickness. During his frequent periods of convalescence, however, Bourne spent his time learning to paint and draw and by the age of 16, he was accepted to study at the Royal Academy – the institution’s youngest student since J. M. W. Turner was admitted in 1790, aged 14. After his early training, Bourne continued to paint throughout his lifetime and, during the mid-20th century, became a popular portrait artist amongst fashionable circles. Depicting Kay Sanders, a student at St. George’s School, Harpenden, the present lot is typical of Bourne’s nostalgic and idealised renderings of mid-century English culture.

    GREAT BRITISH PORTRAIT PAINTING SIGNED & DATED 19

    Est: $500 - $800

    JOHN FRYE BOURNE (British 1912-1991) Cleaning the Harness- 1954 Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right "J.F. Bourne 54" and with typed label on verso "Cleaning Harness, John Frye Bourne" 30 inches x 19.75 inches (76.2 x 50.2 cm) John Frye Bourne was the son of the former Congregational minister, the Rev. A. A. Bourne of Milton Road, Harpenden. Born in Hampstead in 1912, he studied at the Royal Academy and had his first portrait exhibited at the Academy in May 1932, and a second one a year later. Bourne served as a major in a camouflage unit in Italy from 1939-45 during the war, and he had been in North Africa both before and after Alamein. He had also served in Egypt. His wife, formerly Miss Norah Hett of Aldwickbury, was a water colourist who exhibited at several Hertfordshire Art Society shows. It would appear that Bourne, like many of his contemporary portraits, was influenced by the noted Irish painter Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen (1878-1931).
