  • Richard Burrows was the nephew of the pre-war painter Edward Le Bas and moved in exalted circles; he knew Augustus John, Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell and other members of the ‘Bloomsbury’ set. When Edward Le Bas died, Richard was determined to save as much of his extensive art collection as possible. It survives now in his home - a tribute to a lost age of British art.

    An astonishing collection of a period and style I THOUGHT i knew and didn’t care about.And all presented in a Rennie Macintosh studio no less. Really exquisite. Thank you.

    This was incredibly fascinating to me as I have recently dived deep into the Bloomsbury group and have recently collected (nearly) every book that has been published on them and Duncan Grant. Quite a lot. But La Bas comes along now and I cannot wait until their paths cross in my studies.
    Thanks so much and please keep presenting these marvelous and informative videos. ❤

    Wonderful collection…I so enjoyed this…the Lamb portrait is so beautiful. That hot red background and red lipstick pull the viewer into the subject of of the painting. They may nit have liked one another but the painting certainly doesn’t reveal any of those issues. 9it dud cross my mind that the red is a comment in her temper, though I doubt that…it’s fun to imagine what artist intended but unless s/he reveals those thoughts we really don’t know. So much beauty in that room and so much talent. How fortunate to live in such a room!

    Edward Le Bas was the English Caillebotte! (Also the son of an industrialist, a painter and supporter of the arts, without whom, because he paid the rents on the ateliers of so many of his painter friends, and left his collection to The State, we might not have had The Impressionists! The State, stupidly rejected his gift and much of the work was sold to American collections. Gustave Caillebotte).

    This lady uses the word "poignant" a lot. I am sure there are other adjectives out there that she should be made aware of, for the sake of this series' quality. The collection is superb and I loved the burmese dancer by Gerald Kelly.

      @Gary Allen is this you ChatGPT explanation for the lady's excessive usage of the adjective "poignant" to describe almost all the paintings in this collection?

      @@GaitaPonto I agree with your comment regarding the overuse of one adjective (in fact, I love it because it's the sort of thing that I would complain about), and while AI might not use "poignant" three times in a sentence, it's CREEPY.
