Description: ELLIOTT SEABROOKE (1886 - 1950). AN ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING ON BOARD. DEPICTING A COASTAL SCENE. SIGNED AND DATED 19??. Elliott Seabrooke (1886–1950) was a landscape painter and actor, born in Upton Park, Essex (his adopted name combined that of his father, Robert Elliott, with his mother’s, Harriet Seabrooke). Seabrooke studied at Slade School of Fine Art, 1906–11, with Henry Tonks. In World War I Seabrooke – a pacifist – served in the British Red Cross, won Italy’s highest award for gallantry and was an Official War Artist on the Italian front. As an actor he did much work with the directors Theodore Komisarjevsky and J B Fagan, and acted with John Gielgud, Lewis Casson, Sybil Thorndike, Wendy Hiller, Charles Laughton and Ralph Richardson. Also appeared in films, including Gabriel Pascal’s Major Barbara, 1941, but preferred the stage, which left the day free for painting. Seabrooke was much influenced initially by Cézanne in both style and palette, Italian Futurism and Pointillism being later influences. He travelled widely in England and on the continent for landscape subjects, after 1930 living often in the Netherlands. He died in Nice and had memorial shows at Leicester Galleries, 1951; Arts Council 1952; 1955 at Matthiesen Gallery; and in 1966 at Upper Grosvenor Galleries. There was a show at Blond Fine Art in 1979. The Tate Gallery, Imperial War Museum and Arts Council hold examples of his work. THE PAINTING MEASURES APPROX. 5 X 8.75 INCHES AND THE FRAME MEASURES 10.5 X 14.25 INCHES. THE PAINTING WOULD BENEFIT FROM CLEANING - OTHERWISE IT IS IN GOOD CONDITION. THE FRAME HAS SOILED WITH AGE (SEE PHOTOS).
