Description: | Acrylic on canvas. "Lionlady" is characteristic of John Hoyland's abstract style and preoccupation with bold colours. Hoyland was born in Sheffield and studied there and later at the Royal Academy Schools in London. Like many of his contemporaries, Hoyland was deeply impressed by "New American Painting", an exhibition of American Abstract Expressionist works held at the Tate in 1959. During the 1960s and '70s he established close links with the United States, where he was influenced by the work of Hans Hofmann. From the early 1970s he experimented with direct methods of pouring and splattering paint, as seen in "Lionlady". He was appointed Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy Schools in 1999. | Rights holder: | © Courtesy of the artist/Bridgeman Art Library | Subjects: | abstract lion woman | Temporal: | 1989 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | John Hoyland | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
