She wrote many leaflets, including “A Word to Women Householders: Practical Protests Political Outcasts,” although she achieved no real following. Several of her friends also refused to pay taxes and started a women’s newspaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In 1859 Babb started campaigning for the admission of female students to the Royal Academy schools and resulted in her own admission in 1861.

Babb's fairly accomplished yet loosely Pre-Raphaelite style enabled her to migrate over to the more stylised Aesthetic Movement with relative ease.

Often identified as the most influential of the \"California Scene Painters\" during the 1930's and 40's, Sheets was a master watercolourist and oil painter who had a unique and distinctive style.  Sheets was born in 1907 in Pomona, California and grew up on a ranch, where he developed a love of the land and became attracted to simple, rustic, rural scenes. His modernist paintings often feature rich, bold, vibrant colours and are arranged in broad clean areas of colour with clearly defined sharp edges in a simplified two-dimensional composition.   Sheets enrolled in Southern California's acclaimed professional art school, the Chouinard Art Institute, studying under Clarence Hinke and F. Tolle Chamberlin. At just 19, his watercolours were accepted into the California Watercolour Society's Annual Exhibition and, while still enrolled at Chouinard, he was hired to teach watercolour painting there. Shortly after finishing school, he gained recognition for his work, exhibiting in the United States and internationally. Sheets was so successful that he was able to travel throughout the world, usually depicting his experiences in watercolour.  Sheets was highly regarded for his work in many fields tangential to painting. A master artist, he also excelled as a teacher, war artist correspondent, sculptor, architect and mural designer. He designed and oversaw the implementation of over 100 public murals, and as one of the directors of the WPA Art Program for Southern California, his leadership and impact on the local art world cannot be overstated. Sheets spent 20 years teaching at Scripps College and six years as the director of the Otis Institute before retiring to Mendocino County in 1960. His paintings can be found the collections of numerous significant museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, and the National Gallery in Washington D.C\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mandrake Petworth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42137909362873,"sku":"00091","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/4153\/9257\/products\/sheets1.jpg?v=1649077989"},{"product_id":"the-velveteen-rabbit-original-drawing","title":"The Velveteen Rabbit Original Drawing","description":"\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVery rare opportunity to acquire original artwork for the Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams with illustrations by Sir William Nicholson \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Velveteen Rabbit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eINK ON PAPER C1922 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e26 x 19cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eProvenance Sotheby’s 10\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJuly 2013 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eInk and slight watercolour drawing, unsigned, mounted on conservation paper, mounted, framed and glazed, some creases and minor staining.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe drawing was used as the endpapers (and page 3) for Sir William Nicholson's famous 1922 edition of The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.

At the age of 16, he moved to Paris where he joined the School of Decorative Arts before continuing his education in free academies. Birck began to show his works very early, he exhibited publicly for the first time in Parisian Salons at the age of 28. Attracted by Algeria like many artists who follow the orientalist movement, he decided to go into exile there with his family during the Annexation of Metz in 1906. From then on, the life of Alphonse Birck will be shared between Algiers and Fontainebleau.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn Algeria, Birck mainly painted scenes of daily life, landscapes and portraits. The artist will explain that his passion for this country comes from the fact that it represents, for him, a “summary of all the East”. Despite his many travels, he would therefore often return there to draw his inspiration. Indeed, if Alphonse Birck travelled to Egypt, Palestine or Syria over the years, most of the landscapes in his paintings are Algerian. Not limiting himself to these simple landscapes, the painter draws on all the folklore of the country to enrich his compositions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlphonse Birck will be best known for his very realistic and often feminine portraits, which highlight the typical outfits of the country. Alphonse Birck's compositions are mostly clear. He avoids dark colours in order to best depict the warm atmosphere and the power of the sun's rays typical of the dry and arid Mediterranean climate. Likewise, this delicacy and mastery of pictorial techniques can be seen in his subtle portraits. In watercolour or pastel, the painter always manages to make us travel through his paintings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mandrake Petworth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935913873593,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/4153\/9257\/products\/ar1.jpg?v=1665918062"},{"product_id":"the-ruins-of-pompeii-watercolour-by-rosa-wallis","title":"The Ruins Of Pompeii Watercolour by Rosa Wallis","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTitle: The Ruins Of Pompeii\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eImage 11.5 cm x 15.5cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrame: 33cm x 36cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFramed and glazed with conservation mount.
