Sir Stanley Spencer (1891-1959)
Cookham Rise
Oil on canvas
460mm x 610mm
Spencer was born in Cookham, Berkshire, and lived there most of his life. This painting depicts a row of council houses that had been built on the outskirts of Cookham village. The scene is clearly structured with strong diagonals and clearly defined colour zones. It was painted in 1938, the year that Spencer was forced to move from his large house behind the high street. When he returned to the village in 1945 he took a house on this estate.
