Beresford Egan, British 1905-1984 - Intellectual Family, 1947; watercolour and ink on paper, signed and dated lower right 'Beresford Egan 47', 24.6 x 12.8 cm (ARR) Provenance: the Estate of Clifford Hall (1904-1973) Note: with inscribed artist's label attached to the reverse of the frame. Egan was a satirical cartoonist, book illustrator and writer; also an actor and costume designer, known for his work 'The Sink of Solitude, 1928' and illustrations to works by Pierre Louys and his wife Catherine Bower Alcock, which are reminiscent of the work of Aubrey Beardsley and Austin Osman Spare. While his early work was noted for its Art Deco style, these later pieces are perhaps more in keeping with the Surrealist-inspired forms of the Post-War period.
