AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am offering a very fine oil on board titled ploughing the field, by listed artist Gerald Bloom, born 1934. Signed bottom right. The detail in incredible from a top artist.
The painting measures 36 x 26 cm with the frame 50 x 40 cm.
Condition of the painting is good. Please view all pics for accurate condition. Ready to hang.
A former member of the Guild of Railway Artists, Gerald had no formal art training! He developed from “steam, trucks and rock and roll” to become a professional artist in 1968. He aimed to simply present an illustration of a scene before colour photography. Gerald’s speciality is the field of early railway history and the pre grouping period in particular LMS and GWR.
He has firm views on art and railways, he was born in the black country, the heart of England. He believes the craftsmanship of traditional art around the turn of the century has never been surpassed. He sees railways as a romantic extension, in a unique period of history that, through its social and commercial need was, in concept, altruistic. The steam engine: fire, water and air was such a demonstration of elemental control, enabling it to blend with nature and humanity on a spiritual and heroic scale.
Please note. Due to the fragile nature of old frames and glass, our shippers do not provide insurance for any damage caused during transit. We go to great lengths to ensure each painting is packed and protected to a very high standard but sadly cannot compensate or refund for any damage occurring to frames or glass during transit. Therefore the frame and any glass is a gift to you with zero value and you are bidding on the artwork only.
Due to Brexit, there are delays at EU customs borders though the situation is improving. Please do not blame me for delays or any customs duty payable. I really appreciate your understanding and patience. Steve.
