Philip Connard Still Life with Crockery 1920s Ashmolean Museum, Oxford |
English paintings of the 20th century appear to have drifted little by little into the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford as individual gifts or bequests. The maker's names are little known now, memorable mainly from the writings of the various English literary moderns in whose circles they moved. Their place in European art history appears to be fairly tenuous, but these cosmopolitan Londoners were in most cases better known even in their lifetimes as art teachers than art makers.
