Further Details
In mid-March 1920 when Nevinson's father visited his son’s studio, he observed that the artist was working on an idealised mixture of Marseilles and St. Ives … a harbour scene. By 21 March after another visit to the studio his father noted that Nevinson had painted a couple of Mediterranean towns with their dolls houses. [Henry Nevinson Diaries, March 1920]
This would date the work to early in 1920, when Nevinson must have been recalling visits to Marseilles and St Ives. An oil entitled La Corniche was exhibited in his November-December 1920 show at the Bourgeois Galleries, New York.
Our thanks to Jonathan Black for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
