About This Piece

Reclining nude with raised leg' by Robert Organ. A large scale Mid Century nude drawing in an expressive style with a monochromatic palette. Pastel on paper, framed, mounted and glazed.

Robert Organ (1933 - 2023) was a painter, draughtsman, architectural designer and teacher, born in Somerset, his father being the architect, Edward Organ. He studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, where notable teachers of his were George Sweet and Claude Rogers. Early in his career he combined his practice with teaching painting and drawing at Falmouth School of Art. After that he became a full-time painter and was a member of RWA, exhibiting at Beaux Arts Gallery, Bath, and Newlyn Orion Gallery from 1983; Browse & Darby from 1984; and Exeter Museum, 1987. In 2003, Jenny Pery’s study By the Look of Things The Life and Work of Robert Organ, published by Sansom & Company, was launched at Browse & Darby. The book highlighted Organ’s diverse subjects from 50 years of painting. Architecture started to play more of a role later in his life when he joined his brother Tim to form the companies Artist and Constructor and then Architecton, building over 100 properties across the south west of England. He became a drawing tutor at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London and also lectured at Bristol and Cambridge universities. His charismatic and passionate teaching style proved popular, attracting attention and even leading to appearances on the BBC.

More information on the artist can be found in his obituaries in the The Times and The Guardian.
