  • ▲ Edward Burra (1905-1976)
    Apr. 15, 2025

    ▲ Edward Burra (1905-1976)

    Est: £2,000 - £3,000

    ▲ Edward Burra (1905-1976) The procession with 'E J Burra' estate stamp u.r., pencil and watercolour, with a pencil drawing of dancers verso 65 x 50cm, unframed Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 'Works from the Estate of Edward Burra, Lady Ritchie of Dundee and Associated Owners', 3 July 2002, lot 256; the property of a private collector. Edward Burra was known for his surreal, satirical depictions of modern life. Born in London and raised in Rye, Sussex, he battled chronic rheumatoid arthritis, which shaped both his lifestyle and artistic practice. Despite physical limitations, he developed a distinctive style, favouring large-scale watercolours. His early work focused on urban nightlife, revelling in the grit and glamour of brothels, bars and cabaret scenes. Burra’s fascination with Hispanic culture led him to Spain in 1933, during the turbulent years of the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939). The country was undergoing radical political change - secular reforms, social unrest and rising tensions that would eventually lead to civil war. He was captivated by Spain's dramatic cultural traditions, particularly its religious processions, bullfights and theatrical Catholic rituals. Spanish art profoundly influenced him, from the eerie mysticism of El Greco to the stark realism of Goya and Zurbarán. Burra immersed himself in the culture, learning Spanish and surrounding himself with Spanish literature. He also travelled to Mexico, where the vibrant folk traditions and imagery of the Day of the Dead reinforced his fascination with ritual and the macabre. His undated drawing 'The Procession' showcases his signature compositional technique. The eye is led diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, where figures seem to move beyond the paper’s edge. This sense of momentum is key to his later religious-themed works. Burra’s cartoonist-like approach is evident - while most of the piece remains an outline, he selectively colours a few figures, particularly a striking, red-skinned face, adding both drama and mystery. This technique teases the viewer, leaving them wondering how the final piece might have looked, a hallmark of Burra’s ability to balance intrigue and narrative depth. Condition Report: There are several very small, repaired tears to the upper edge. A few light spots of foxing starting to emerge. Very light surface dirt. There is a little pale yellow discolouration in the lower right corner.

His early work comprises vibrant depictions of urban scenes, snapshots of the new modern world and city nightlife in particular. And yet his works are rarely straight-forward. They are frequently imbued with a sense of the bizarre, the surreal, shining a spotlight on the seedier, macabre side of life. He painted humanity's dark side, its warmongers, low lives and outsiders, illuminating dark and murky corners wherever he went; his idiosyncratic tour of the 20th century is strange, unsettling and always compelling. (Andrew Graham Dixon, in I Never Tell Anybody Anything: The Life and Art of Edward Burra, BBC Four, 2011)Beset by ill health from an early age, Burra did not let this stifle his artistic ambition, travelling widely throughout his life with a particular love for France and Spain. He worked predominately in watercolour due to his chronic arthritis, his compositions are bright and vibrant with strong graphic lines. The impact of the Spanish Civil War and the subsequent descent into World War II changed everything for Burra. His love for the frivolous side of life was shattered by the terrible violence meted out during these conflicts. A new seriousness came to the fore as Burra tried to deal with the horrors that confronted him. Burra's post war works incorporate new themes such as landscape, fruit and flower works and market scenes. However, as ever, nothing is straight-forward - as in the present work, The Loaf, strange, ambiguous shapes emerge from the everyday objects. Humorous and surreal, the meaning remains elusive. Burra himself was always reticent about discussing his work preferring the viewer to make their own interpretation, forever leaving more questions than answers.
