NIGHT ROAD
Estimate:
€6,000 - €9,000
William Crozier HRHA, 1930-2011
NIGHT ROAD, 1990
Oil on canvas, 14" x 18" (35.5 x 45.7cm), signed; signed, inscribed and dated 1990 verso.
Provenance: The Scottish Gallery (label verso); Private Collection.
"All of his works derive from, it could be a nano-second of something seen and experienced and he would hold that in his head and mope back into the studio, cut out the real world and then start painting..…to create this nature of the imagination, this landscape of the spirit."
Katharine Crouan speaking with Jo Baring at Flowers Gallery, Cork Street, London, 2022
Crozier's lifelong love affair with Ireland deepened in 1973 with his adoption of Irish citizenship. The purchase of a home in West Cork in 1983 heralded a new and highly productive period as he assimilated and interpreted this distinctive Irish landscape.
The colouration of Night Road indicated how closely aligned Crozier was to his contemporary European Neo Expressionists, taking his lead from an interpretative discourse with his subject matter rather than an abstraction of it. The resultant images, both potent and immensely accessible stand as amongst the most iconic images of the Irish landscape in the post war era.
