CHARLES SIMS (1873-1928) 'CRAFTS', CIRCA 1915 oil sketch on board, inscribed lower left ARTS & CRAFTS EXHIBITION 1916, and lower right CHARLES SIMS/ M. ASHER/ J. MARTINDALE/ T. EMSLIE/ F. BROWN 35.5cm x 80.5cm (frame size 42.5cm x 87.2cm) Note: This is a preparatory study for the artist’s mural ‘Crafts’, made for the Municipal Hall at the Royal Academy’s Arts and Crafts Exhibition of 1916. Four of the most successful large decorative panels: Maurice Greiffenhagen's, The Arts of Peace; George Clausen's The Ancient Arts; Robert Anning Bell's The Awakening; and Charles Sims’ Crafts. On these walls the Academy had fielded its strongest team, each was a consummately skilled practitioner, highly experienced in the art of mural painting. These artists, with others, would receive major public commissions after the war, notably in the Palace of Westminster, thus fulfilling, in this area at least, the goal of the exhibition organiser and President of the Society, Henry Wilson.Believed the have been lost, Sims’ vast mural canvas (30 feet wide) was recently found rolled up in the basement of the Academy. Sims was aided in the painting by a group of female students from the Royal Academy Schools: Rosalie Emslie, Florence Asher, Margaret Brown and Veronica Martindale, all credited in this sketch albeit with their initials entered the wrong way around.

Est: £3,000 - £4,000
Charles Sims (British, 1873-1928) The Wood beyond the World, 1913 signed lower right "Sims" oil on canvas h:69 w: 101 cm Provenance: Private Collection, Cambridge. Charles Sims enrolled at the South Kensington College of Art in 1890 before moving to Paris for two years at the Académie Julian. Needing a bursary to support himself, he moved back to London and enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools in 1893. From 1896, he developed an increasingly successful career, first exhibiting "The Vine" at the Royal Academy in 1896, and selling another painting "Childhood" to the Musée du Luxembourg. An expert at portraying sunlit landscapes, he specialised in society portraits and neo-classical fantasies, typically idealised scenes of women, children or fairies in outdoor settings. In 1906 a one-man show at the Leicester Galleries brought him critical and financial success, allowing him to relocate to rural Fittleworth. In 1910 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Watercolour Society, and in 1915 to the Royal Academy. "The Wood beyond the World" represents an idyllic scene celebrating springtide and the optimism of life. It is reminiscent of both "Primavera" by Botticelli and the work of Puvis de Chavannes. The children portray the chastity of youth, whilst alluding to pagan traditions and symbolism. The group of three female figures are the three Graces from classical mythology, whilst the central woman holding a child portrays the Madonna. A version of the present painting is in the collection of Tate Modern.
