Harrington Mann (British, 1864-1937) Nude signed and dated 'HARRINGTON MANN 1933' (lower right) oil on canvas 50.8 x 63.5 cm. (20 x 25 in.) Fußnoten Provenance Private Collection, Canada Born and trained in Glasgow and originally part of the Glasgow Boys movement during the 1880s, Harrington Mann moved to London and attended The Slade School of Art under the French artist Alphonse Legros (1837-1911). At the turn of the century he moved to south London and found success with painting society portraits, whilst maintaining a studio in New York. His strong sense of colour and design (Mann also worked on stained glass windows), honed in the late nineteenth century, is evident in the present canvas; the exaggerated erotic pose of the model is partly covered by the patterned throw which contrasts with the rich orange plainness of the settee. Dated 1933, Nude displays Mann's more modernist technique of broader and bolder brushstrokes, heavily influenced by John Singer Sargent (1856-1925).
