Comments on: The Subtle Art Of Glynn Boyd Harte https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/09/21/the-subtle-art-of-glynn-boyd-harte/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 17 Apr 2020 06:17:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Anthony Fowler https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/09/21/the-subtle-art-of-glynn-boyd-harte/#comment-1336241 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 06:17:33 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=176954#comment-1336241 I had the good fortune to meet Glynn in Paris in the late 70’s and remained a close friend until his untimely death. I went to two of his wonderful fancy dress parties ,the first in Cloudsley Square when he painted me into my Nijinsky costume l’apres midi d’une faune and the second as a Mexican bandit. I was lucky to have my portrait done by him which I treasure now in Australia.

I was struck by the majesty of the building, and the fact nets were put up to no doubt stop birds accessing the area above the door. I scanned for indications of what the building was for, but didn’t see anything. It looked like an important building. Now I know.

And am thrilled to know that a memoir is forth-coming, with images! GA, please keep us posted. Seriously.
This artist proves……there are no “little things”. Every thing is worthy of inspection, especially by an artist who notices. I’m not sure what “Water Flowers” is — but my take is that it is perhaps a little label from a match box? I love the way the artist reminds us that the colors are a bit “off”
and (forgive me) wiggly. I’ve collected ephemera for years and I enjoy finding such labels.
I’m enthralled with this artist.

More, please!

I sent him a link to the wonderful picture-he loves it.

Thank you Glynn Boyd Hart and thank you GA.

Glynn was of course a good friend of the late Rodney Archer of Fournier Street who owned several G B H drawings …

Looking forward to seeing the exhibition next week.

Who could forget him? I used to buy the Saturday Telegraph in the 1990s specifically for his wonderful food illustrations, most of which, thankfully, I cut out for my recipe notebooks. His good taste extended to living in Percy Street and having a holiday house in Veules-les-Roses near Dieppe. I wish I had met him. Ripe for a biography perhaps?

I’m lucky enough to have that and a number of his other Fitzrovia works that came from exhibitions at the Curwen Gallery. At one of those, I unexpectedly met an uncle who revealed that he printed Glyn Boyd Harte’s editions at the Curwen Press.
