(Herbert George) Rodrigo Moynihan RA (17 October 1910 - 6 November 1990) was an English painter, credited with being a pioneer of abstract painting in England. A winter in Rome 1927-1928 inspired him to devote himself to art, and in 1928 he started studying at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. In the 1930s he gained a reputation as a pioneer of abstract painting in England as a member of the Objective Abstraction movement. Moynihan was later attracted to social realism and became associated from 1937 with the Euston Road School. Moynihan served in the British Army from 1940 to 1943, first in the Royal Artillery and then doing camouflage work. Following an injury, he was given a full-time salaried commission by the War Artists' Advisory Committee, WAAC, having previously completed a number of short-term contracts for the Committee. He completed a number of portraits of ATS and senior, male, military figures for this contract and also for subsequent shorter WAAC contracts Moynihan was appointed an Associate Member of the Royal Academy in 1944. After the war, he was professor of painting at the Royal College of Art 1948-1957, and was elected a full member of the Royal Academy in 1954. At this period, he was in demand for official portraits, and executed commissions of amongst others Princess Elizabeth (1946) and Prime Minister Clement Attlee (1947). He changed direction from 1957, resigning from the Royal College of Art and the Royal Academy and returning to abstraction, working outside England in Europe and North America. This book offers a fascinating overview of Moynihan's oeuvre; from the free resonant 'Objective Abstractions' of the early 1930s, and the portraits of the 1940s, through the post war years - when as Professor of Painting at the Royal College of Art, he began to explore a visual dialogue between the planned and the casual, the ordered and the random in series after series of still lifes - to the abstracts and landscapes of the 1960s and the new still lifes and portraits of the 1970s and 80s. The book contains eighty five illustrations of which sixty five are in colour. Ref TT 1. Seller Inventory # 035864

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Rodrigo Moynihan: Paintings and Works on Paper; Richard Shone; foreword by John Ashbury; Thames and Hudson, London, 1988. Printed and bound in Switzerland. First edition. From the blurb: Rodrigo Moynihan is perhaps best known for his portraits; his sitters have included Peggy Ashcroft, Anthony Powell, and Margaret Thacher; but, as this new study amply demonstrates, his work to date is wide ranging and diverse. Indeed, as Richard shone points out: anyone looking at the reproductions in this book might be forgiven for assuming at best that they illustrate the work of three or four painters of different ages and even different countries. That they are all by Moynihan is part of his fascination. This volume offers a fascinating overview of his oeuvre: from the free resonant objective abstractions of the early 1930s, and the portraits of the 1940s, through the post war years, when as a Professor of Painting at the Royal College of Art, he began to explore a visual dialogue between the planned and the casual, the ordered and the random in series after series of still lifes, to the abstracts and landscapes of the 1960s and the new still lifes and portraits of the 1970s and 80s. This large book is in fine condition in a fine French fold dust jacket that is now enclosed in a mylar wrap. Seller Inventory # 2583b
