Hawker Sea Hawk By Roy Nockolds (1911 to 1997)
Rare hand coloured Silkscreen highlighted in watercolour and produced on Royal Watercolour Society Watercolour Paper. It has the publishers blind stamp to the bottom right of the picture.
Self-taught aviation and motor racing artist and etcher born in London. Nockolds was attracted to motor sport on his first visit to Brooklands in 1924. He contributed to Motor Sport, Autocar and Motor, and excelled in capturing the atmosphere and technical aspects of motor racing. He applied the same skill to aviation art - his authoritative picture of the Battle of Britain, commissioned for Royal Air Force Fighter Command, is a tour de force. During World War II Nockolds served in the Air Force, developed a revolutionary camouflage for the Mosquitoes and was an Official War Artist. Immediately after the war he produced a remarkable series of near-abstract paintings depicting speed. He was a chairman of the Guild of Aviation Artists, 1975, and of The Brooklands Society, 1976. Nockolds oeuvre was diverse; he produced excellent drypoints, handpainted driver masks painted in oils on plaster, sporting prints for Frost & Reed and major commissions from Bentley, Jaguar, Aston Martin, RAC London, British Racing Drivers Club and many leading pre-war and post-war Grand Prix drivers many who were close friends.

(Please note that this print has a very minor crease in the very top right hand corner of the white border diagonally between the top right of the mount and the right hand side of the mount. It is only approx 1cm long and is visible only at certain angles. The price is set to reflect this very minor flaw.) |
