§ 3Commentary

A fine painter in the Academic style, Solomon was co-founder of the Society of Portrait Painters, a founder member and first President of the Maccabeans, and later Head of the Art Committee of the Jewish Education Aid Society, which organised loans to help the majority of the Whitechapel Boys to attend the Slade School of Art. In 1906 Solomon became only the second Jewish Royal Academician and was President of the Ben Uri from 1924–26. Solomon was well-known for his historical and biblical works and for his society portraiture. His annual contributions to the Royal Academy Exhibition were hung in what came to be known as ‘Solomon’s corner.’ Although a practising Jew, he rarely painted works with overtly Jewish themes, though he did make portraits of some of the leading Jewish figures of the day.During the First World War Solomon pioneered camouflage work for tanks and aeroplanes, sometimes in the thick of the fighting, despite being 54 at the outbreak of hostilities. In addition, he also sculpted dummy heads to attract fire in order to locate snipers and developed hollow, metal and bark-covered Observational Post Trees, where lookouts could hide along the front line. After the war, he continued painting portraits until his death in 1927.Solomon’s richly-decorated interior of the family bungalow at Birchington, Kent (where his brother-in-law Delissa Joseph, had built him a second studio) depicts his wife Ella and youngest daughter Iris (later the Hon Mrs Ewen Montagu) in the comfortable intimacy of the breakfast room. Iris is denoted only by her hand holding the newspaper and her dangling leg with its fashionable shoe. On the wall behind a selection of paintings by Solomon includes one of his older daughter, Mary, on her pony (the landscape is by another painter). Solomon’s tasteful and opulent breakfast room reveals the extent of his identification with English life; the only reference to his Jewish origins is the two candlesticks upon the mantelpiece.The Ben Uri Collection features six works by Solomon, including the magnificent portrait of Mary, The Field: The Artist’s Daughter on a Pony, which was presented by his widow in 1937.

Indramning af reproduktion

-

For kunstværker eller reproduktioner, der er større end 105 cm (ca. 41 tommer) på en hvilken som helst side, vil rammen blive leveret som et adskilt sæt. Denne metode sikrer sikker levering og forhindrer skader under transport.

Professionel montering er påkrævet – dette er ikke et gør-det-selv produkt.
Sættet skal samles, og lærredet skal opspændes af en erfaren professionel indrammer ved brug af trælim (ikke medfølger), en lærredsspænder og klemmer til at holde blindrammen vinkelret, mens limen tørrer. Forkert samling eller ujævn spænding af lærredet kan beskadige kunstværket permanent og er ikke dækket af vores garanti.

Alle massive trælister er inkluderet, præcist tilpasset i størrelsen.
Samles med de medfølgende skruer samt trælim til hjørneforbindelserne, som ikke medfølger og skal anskaffes af din indrammer.
Professionelt værktøj er påkrævet og medfølger ikke: en lærredsstrækker (spændetang) og klemmer til at holde blindrammen vinkelret, mens limen tørrer.

Vigtigt:
Hjørneforbindelserne kræver trælim, listerne skal holdes fast med skruetvinger, indtil limen er helt tør, og opspænding af lærredet på den samlede ramme kræver en lærredsspænder. Ingen af disse dele er inkluderet i sættet. Vi anbefaler, at du kontakter en erfaren professionel indrammer, før du bestiller denne størrelse.
