For artworks or reproductions larger than 105 cm (approximately 41 inches) on any side, the frame will be shipped as a kit, disassembled. This method ensures safe delivery and prevents damage during transport.

Professional assembly required - this is not a DIY product.
The kit must be assembled and the canvas stretched by an experienced professional framer, using wood glue (not supplied), a canvas stretching plier and clamps to hold the bars square while the glue dries. Incorrect assembly or uneven canvas tension can permanently damage the artwork and is not covered by our warranty.

  • All solid wood bars are included, precisely cut to size.

  • Assembled with the screws provided, plus wood glue for the corner joints, which is not supplied and must be sourced by your framer.

  • Professional tools are required and not included: a canvas stretching plier (tensioner) and clamps to hold the bars square while the glue dries.

Important:
The corner joints require wood glue, the bars must be held with clamps until the glue is fully dry, and tightening the canvas on the assembled frame requires a canvas stretching plier. None of these are included in the kit. Please arrange an experienced professional framer before ordering this size.

Artist Biography

Ronald Ossory Dunlop: A Life in Paint

Early Life and Education

  • Born: Dublin, Ireland, June 28, 1894.
  • Dunlop came from a Scottish-Irish Quaker family with artistic inclinations; his mother was a watercolour painter.
  • His early life was steeped in the atmosphere of the Irish Literary Renaissance, as his father was close friends with prominent figures like W.B. Yeats and George Russell (Æ).
  • The family moved to New York in 1899, then London in 1902, maintaining a strong connection to Dublin through annual visits.
  • He studied at Manchester School of Art, Wimbledon College of Art, and Paris, gaining a diverse artistic foundation.

Artistic Development & Influences

  • Dunlop’s early career involved time in an advertising agency before dedicating himself fully to painting.
  • Influences: The artistic and literary environment of his upbringing, particularly the mystical and spiritualist currents surrounding figures like Yeats and Russell, profoundly shaped his aesthetic sensibility.
  • He associated with a group of young artists exhibiting at the Hurricane Lamp Gallery in Chelsea, contributing to the development of ‘Emotionism’.
  • His style evolved towards a painterly exuberance, characterized by bold brushwork and vibrant color palettes. He became known as an 'alla prima' painter – working directly onto the canvas in a single session.

The Emotionist Group & Artistic Philosophy

  • In 1923, Dunlop founded the Emotionist Group, advocating for art as an expression of inner essence and emotional experience.
  • He penned a manifesto for the group, stating “Art is the expression of the essence of life,” reflecting their belief in subjective interpretation and artistic freedom.
  • Dunlop joined The London Group in 1931, further solidifying his position within the avant-garde art scene.

Exhibition & Recognition

  • Dunlop was a prolific exhibitor, showcasing his work at prestigious venues including the Royal Academy, New English Art Club, Leicester Galleries, and the Royal Hibernian Academy.
  • His first one-man show took place in 1928 at the Redfern Gallery in London.
  • Major Achievement: Elected a full member of the Royal Academy in 1950, marking the pinnacle of his professional recognition.
  • His work is held in numerous public collections, including the Tate Gallery, Crawford Gallery (Cork), Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum, and the National Portrait Gallery (London).

Themes & Style

  • Dunlop’s oeuvre encompasses landscapes, seascapes, figure studies, portraits, and still life.
  • He frequently depicted scenes of the English countryside, particularly around Barnham, West Sussex, where he lived later in life.
  • Style: Characterized by a vibrant palette, energetic brushwork, and an emphasis on capturing atmosphere and emotional resonance. His work often possesses a sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

Later Life & Legacy

  • Dunlop spent much of his life in England, eventually settling in Barnham, West Sussex.
  • He continued to paint and exhibit until his death on May 18, 1973.
  • Historical Significance: Dunlop’s work represents a bridge between traditional painting techniques and the expressive freedom of modernism. His vibrant style and dedication to capturing emotional truth continue to resonate with audiences today. However, his popularity has also led to numerous forgeries appearing on the market.
