Josephine Wall (British, 1947)

"The art of painting is more than a career to me", she says, "it is an all consuming obsession and a love of colour and form. In fact, if I am away from my easel for too long I become restless and anxious to paint again" - Josephine Wall.

Wall's paintings are mainly influenced and inspired by Arthur Rackham, with lesser influences from surrealist artists such as Magritte and Dalí, and the romanticism of the pre-Raphaelites.

A number of her works were exhibited in Teheran and Tokyo during 1974 and her first solo exhibition took place the following year in Swindon. Josephine and her paintings were the subject of a special feature on Southern Television in 1990.

Following a visit to the Spring Fair in Birmingham in 1993 she signed contracts with firms in Britain and Switzerland to publish her work as prints, posters and cards for worldwide distribution.

Her originals and limited edition prints by are often sold through Courtenay's Fine Art and Courtyard of Romance.

Vincent Van Gogh | Still life with flowers

"In Antwerp I did not even know what the Impressionists were, now I have seen them and though not being one of the club, yet I have much admired certain Impressionist pictures - Degas🎨, figure - Claude Monet🎨, landscape.

And now for what regards what I myself have been doing, I have lacked money for paying models, else I had entirely given myself to figure painting but I have made a series of colour studies in painting simply flowers, red poppies, blue corn flowers and myosotys.

White and rose roses, yellow chrysantemums - seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, yellow and violet, seeking The Broken And Neutral Tones to harmonise brutal extremes. Trying to render intense Colour and not a grey harmony" - Quote of Vincent van Gogh🎨 in his letter to Horace Mann Livens, from Paris, September or October 1886.
