War: To Arms Citizens of the Empire, 19 15,was commissioned by Frank Pick of the London Underground. It was a modified version of a poster entitled Britain’s Call to Arms, 1914, which Brangwyn had offered free of charge to the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee (PRC), but had been rejected as being too stark in its portrayal of death and destruction. In  1915, Alfred Yockney praised the original poster:‘This fine design makes a powerful appeal and it forms an epitome of war. It is a subject-picture if ever there was one and gives us a story of broken ties, patriotism, heroism,vandalism and tragedy’ (‘Some Recent London Posters’, The Studio, anuary  19 15).

Although Brangwyn produced more than eighty poster designs during the   First World War, he was not an Official War Artist.The inspiration for the compositions and details of the posters came from his memories of the
Messina earthquake, news agency photographs and the daily illustrations of
destruction that appeared in The Times, together with loans of German and
British uniforms and guns from the ImperialWar Museum and the United
States Naval authorities. In  1948, Brangwyn reminisced that he had ‘always
questioned the value of these propaganda posters. And yet I heard that, at the
time of my U.S.A. one, a nephew of mine living in America joined the navy
after seeing my poster – and, poor chap, he was the first American naval
casualty of the war’ (Brangwyn inWilliam de Belleroche, Brangwyn’s Pilgrimage, Chapman and Hall, London, 1948, p.  196).

Literature: Galloway Vincent, The Oils and Murals of Sir Frank Brangwyn, F Lewis, Leigh-on-Sea, 1962, p. 28, possibly no. 745, Canal de San Pietro.

Brangwyn designed the British Room for the Venice Biennale in 1905 and 1907 and always felt a strong association with the city and its celebrated tradition of painting. In 1922 he illustrated Edward Hutton's book The Pageant of Venice. It is rare to find a Brangwyn with its original surface so uncompromised: the texture of the brushwork has not suffered through time and nor has the palette. More usually, Brangwyn built his surface colours on top of a brown ground. Through the passage of time these colours often thinned, allowing the ground to 'burn' through, thus darkening the original palette. We are grateful to Dr Libby Horner for her assistance. The work is number O2692 in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné.

This painting shows a giant dahlia, a flower of South American origin. It is typical of the dense and richly coloured foliage that Brangwyn used to great effect in the murals he painted for the House of Lords in 1926. Brangwyn was a keen horticulturist: through his apprenticeship with William Morris he developed a love of traditional English flora; through his travels abroad he developed a love of the exotic. His garden at the Jointure in Ditchling, Sussex, combined the two. As a painter, Brangwyn responded to all forms of nature, making large numbers of spontaneous sketches on scraps of paper in response to the environment around him. This plein-air sketch is unusual for being in oil. We are grateful to Dr Libby Horner for her assistance. The work is number O2512 in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné. Six other still lives with dahlias are recorded.

Oil on prepared board, 24W X 20E ins. (61.5 X 53 cms.)
Provenance: William Stewart, and by descent

This spontaneous oil sketch brings to mind Paris of the 1890s, with its musicians, absinthe drinkers and bohemians, immortalised by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. Brangwyn was working in Paris in 1895, painting mural and stencil decorations on the exterior of the Galerie L'Art Nouveau for Siegfried Bing.

Technically the painting shows clearly how Brangwyn, at times, laid his colours over a warm pink-orange ground, thereby achieving a greater luminosity. Musicians appear frequently throughout Brangwyn's oeuvre. Writing to Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo in 1940, on the death of their mutual friend the music antiquarian and scholar Arnold Dolmetsch, Brangwyn wryly remarked: 'your old friend Dolmetsch has gone to play his viols and virginals before The master [sic]. He will no doubt see some wonderful instruments there?' Letter from Brangwyn to Mackmurdo, 21 April 1940, William Morris Gallery, London. We are grateful to Dr Libby Horner for her assistance.

Judging by the style of clothing, this was a preparatory but unused sketch for one of the Skinners Hall murals (probably panel 14, Lord Mayor Pilkington entertaining King and Queen, 1689). The quality of draughtsmanship would also suggest an early date. Brangwyn frequently recycled images and this particular pose, suitably modified, reappeared in the Horton House murals (circa 1916).

We are grateful to Dr Libby Horner for her assistance. The sketch has been entered as a study under Worshipful Company of Skinners, London, number M1139 in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné.

Harry Gordon Selfridge, nicknamed 'Mile a Minute Harry', brought American ideas on commerce and advertising to the British retail business. His vast emporium on Oxford Street was, when built, the largest in England and was enlarged over the following twenty years. Brangwyn was commissioned to design a decoration for the interior of a dome designed by Sir John Burnet. The huge dome, 70ft (21 metres) in diameter and 130ft (40 metres) above the ground, was to be tiled in mosaic, the subject being, appropriately enough, 'Trade of the World'. Brangwyn designed the top of the dome as an inverted globe upon which he noted various countries, together with flora and fauna of those areas, whilst the lower parts were filled with exotically dressed people and traders, each figure measuring some 16-17ft (5 metres) high. Unfortunately the mosaics were never executed because, apparently, the London County Council feared that the excessive weight might damage the underground railway.

Brangwyn produced a number of pen and ink sketches to illustrate Brangwyn's Pilgrimage, by William de Belleroche. This particular drawing records the devastation caused by the earthquake on 28 December 1908 at Messina, Sicily, when the shore sank by 16ft. 5ins. overnight and 84,000 people lost their lives. Brangwyn visited the site and made numerous sketches of the area when he visited his friend R. H. Kitson in Taormina, Sicily, in 1909.

Provenance: collection of William de Belleroche
Literature: William de Belleroche, Brangwyn's Pilgrimage, Chapman and Hall, 1948, p. 197

Brangwyn's Pilgrimage, The Life Story of An Artist, was published by Chapman and Hall in 1948 following an earlier similar collaboration between Brangwyn and William de Belleroche, Brangwyn Talks, (1944).  For both publications Brangwyn produced pen and ink sketches to accompany William de Belleroche's text. The majority of these drawings remained with William de Belleroche until the sale of his collection at Christies in July 1961. 

Brangwyn purchased The Jointure in Ditchling in 1918 and lived their until his death in 1956.  He was immensley fond of The Jointure:

Provenance: from the collection of William de Belleroche.
Literature: Jerome and Jean Tharaud, L'Ombre de la Croix, Paris, 1931, book 1 p. 161

A  version of this etching (also from William de Belleroche's collection)  was exhibited at the 1952 Brangwyn Royal Academy show, (no. 130).  Another version (final state)  is in the collection of the Ashmoleon Museum, Arthur Mitchell Collection, acquired in 1964).

The text for L’Ombre de la Croix,  written by the brothers Jerome and Jean Tharaud, was published by Editions Lapina, Paris, 1931, in two volumes, and was illustrated with 73 Brangwyn etchings. The book describes the lives of Jews in contemporary Europe and many of Brangwyn’s illustrations appear to depict the town of Belz in Poland, which was a centre of pilgrimage. Brangwyn is not known to have visited Poland and current research suggests that a large proportion of the etchings were based on photographs.

This scene, one of several Brangwyn painted of Spanish goatherds, was undertaken whilst travelling through Spain in 1892 in company with Arthur Melville. It is aptly described in an article Brangwyn wrote for The Studio:
‘Under the long shadows of a few poplars on the banks we could see a goatherd surrounded by flocks of black goats,looking like spots of ink on the sun-swept hills’.(33)

Brangwyn recorded that the two artists actually sketched a goatherd a few days later at Galar, as Brangwyn spelt it, Melville having persuaded the man to come down to the canal side.

The painting shows the influence of Japanese art,in that the scrub and tree
branches were probably painted with a brush in which all the hairs are
separated, creating a ‘dragged’ effect. Brangwyn may have been taught the
technique by Thomas Joseph Larkin of the Japanese Gallery, London. (32)

Provenance: Liss Fine Art; private collection Brangwyn travelled to Turkey in 1890, the results of his work being exhibited in his first one-man show, From the Scheldt to the Danube,at the Royal Arcade Gallery, London in March 1891. This brilliantly coloured oil is almost identical to a watercolour, Fishing Boats on the Danube, in the collection of The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. This might lead one to assume that the oil is No 169 in Vincent Galloway’s, The Oils and Murals of Frank Brangwyn, but neither the size nor inscription match.Brangwyn, inspired by the scenery,possibly painted a number of similar compositions.

Brangwyn is thought to have visited Venice for the first time in 1896. He designed the British Room for the Venice Biennale in 1905 and 1907 and always felt a strong association with the city and its celebrated tradition of painting. In 1922 he illustrated Edward Hutton’s book The Pageant of Venice. (34)
 
Venetian boat-building yards, known as squero,were a favourite subject of Brangwyn’s; he produced another five oils, three etchings and two watercolours on the same theme.

Provenance: private collection
Ill: Scribner’s Magazine, cover, Vol XXXVIII, October 1905

This painting demonstrates two salient points about Brangwyn’s working practice. Firstly his ‘pattern book’working process, by which figures would be re-used, irrespective of changes in context or the passage of time. On 7 May 1921, Frank Alford wrote that he was working on one of the murals for Jefferson City: ‘FB thinks of taking out the figures on the extreme [left] being a man carrying a large basket of fruit on his head,& putting in its place a figure of a boy on a ladder pulling fruit.The same boy was used in one of FB’s series for Scribner’s magazine.’ (36)

Secondly, despite the fact that Brangwyn was financially secure by 1905, he continued to accept commercial commissions,partly because he found it difficult to refuse any challenge, but mainly because by these means he could introduce art to a wider audience. The gold painted bar across the painting relates directly to the format of the magazine cover.

The Barbizon House record noted that:
‘There is a fine massive confusedness in this remarkable painting. The busy scene is filled with the movement of many strong figures, some occupied with the ephemeral passing of the fish-catch of the morning, while others are equally busy with the more permanent building of a good ship of the future.

The artist has aimed at producing a grand decorative scheme showing the scaffolding reaching to the ribs of the vessel and the active movement ofthe workers in full swing, each absorbed in his own labour.’

Ill: Herbert Furst, The Decorative Art of Frank Brangwyn, London: The Bodley Head, 1924, facing p143
 
After World War I, Brangwyn was commissioned to produce Stations of the Cross for Arras Cathedral through the recommendation of his friend, the artist, Theophile Steinlen (1859–1923; see p22). Reproductions of the Stations were to be distributed to other war damaged churches. Unfortunately the series was never completed.It was generally reported that this was due to the death of the model Cervi, although we know from Frank Alford’s diary that Marco Jafrato also posed as Christ. (41)The deaths of Brangwyn’s wife, Lucy, and Steinlen himself may have had more to do with the failure of the commission.
 
Studies or completed panels have been discovered for 10 of the 14 Stations. The work was illustrated in Herbert Furst’s book The Decorative Art of Frank Brangwyn, facing p143. Brangwyn subsequently altered the painting and inserted his self portrait on the right, offering succour to Christ, probably before presenting the work to Father D’Arcy (c1935). (42)
