Description: | "Ivon Hitchens was born in 1893, is a product of the Royal Academy School and has always been interested in "non-academic" painting. His work has over decades always held an outstanding place in exhibitions of "modern art", he was an Arts Council Prize Winner in 1951 and is represented in The Tate Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, also the Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Aberdeen, galleries as well as those of Canada and Australia.
This painting by Ivon Hitchens, entitled "Daffodils and Lilies" is a magnificent example of his "still life" and this artist's manner of reducing objects to an imaginatively stimulating pattern, enhanced by a radiant colour scheme of fused colours." (Annual Report of the Art Galleries and Museums Committee 1953-1954)
