  • Denis Wirth-Miller,  Granite Upland and Road, 1970-71; 
    Sep. 11, 2024

    Denis Wirth-Miller,  Granite Upland and Road, 1970-71; 

    Est: £4,000 - £6,000

    Denis Wirth-Miller,  British 1915–2010 -  Granite Upland and Road, 1970-71;  oil on canvas, signed, titled and dated on the reverse 'Denis Wirth Miller Granite Upland + Road 1970-71', 101.5 x 137.5 cm  Note:  Wirth-Miller is perhaps most widely known for his turbulent friendship with Francis Bacon, reflected in the works he made of animals and isolated figures during the 1950s. The present work reflects his mature career, creating energetic, yet landscapes. His work was recently the focus of a major show at Firstsite, Colchester in 2023 and his life with his partner was also the focus of the book 'The Visitors' Book: In Francis Bacon's Shadow: The Lives of Richard Chopping and Denis Wirth-Miller' by Jon Lys Turner in 2016.  Works by the artist are now in the collections of the Yale Art Centre, the Government Art Collection and The Hepworth Wakefield.

    § DENIS WIRTH-MILLER (BRITISH 1915-2010) UNTITLED (WINTER LANDSCAPE)

    Est: £800 - £1,200

    § DENIS WIRTH-MILLER (BRITISH 1915-2010) UNTITLED (WINTER LANDSCAPE) Signed verso (three times), oil on canvas (76cm x 91cm (30in x 35.75in)) Note: Denis Wirth-Miller’s profile as an artist deserves to be higher. His skill, innovation and the circles in which he moved all signal to his, at one time, significant position within the twentieth century British art scene. His close yet purportedly extremely tempestuous relationship with Francis Bacon is largely blamed for overshadowing his on-going legacy. They enjoyed a deep friendship and indeed are thought to have collaborated together on a number of canvases in the 1950s. Wirth-Miller and his partner Dickie Chopping (cover illustrator of Ian Fleming’s world famous Bond series) were embedded within the notorious art sets of Fitzrovia and Soho during the war and post war years, their friendship circle including Colquhoun, MacBryde, Minton, Spencer, Craxton, Vaughan and of course Bacon. Many of these relationships were developed whilst Wirth-Miller studied at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing under Cedric Morris. He would continue to live in Wivenhoe for the rest of his life. During his career Wirth-Miller exhibited at Lefevre, Redfern and Beaux Arts Galleries.
