Starkie, on the occasion of a visit with his mother to Uncle Arthur and Aunt Edyth at Limpsfield in Surrey, 30th November 1931 Rackham?s pieces were known for their luxurious use of color and keen attention to detail. His styles ranged easily from vivid, bright splashes of color to more muted, subtle tones. He became a member of the Royal Watercolour Society and mastered the watercolor method of painting, seen in many of his works. Many of the books Rackham illustrated include both his black and white, and color plates. Much of Rackham?s work depicts gnomes, fairies, goblins or other creatures from mythology, folklore or fable. Whether illustrating whimsical books for children or darker matter for adults, Rackham?s imaginative, brilliant illustration style was highly sought after and enhanced any text it accompanied. Rackham died in 1939, and now, more than 70 years after his death, his work is highly collectible with small original watercolors selling in the $40,000 range!! A very stunning piece and showcases very well. Perfect for the Rackham collector. FRAMED SIZE: 16.5? X 14? ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
