Sir Albert Edward Richardson K.C.V.O., F.R.I.B.A, F.S.A., P.R.A. (1880 - 1964) Cambridge Revisited (1933) Pen, ink, and wash 24 x 35 cm Signed and dated lower right. Renowned for his architectural fantasies, Richardson here depicts Sir Christopher Wren revisiting the chapel he built in 1677. Wren is a Colossus, surveying not only the architecture of the chapel but the fantastical assortment of characters present in the quad. Seventeenth century lords, ladies, and scholars occupy the centre of the picture while 20th century tourists (on the left) watch the scene unfold. Richardson was a leading English architect, teacher and writer about architecture during the first half of the 20th century. He was Professor of Architecture at University College London, a President of the Royal Academy, editor of Architects' Journal, founder of the Georgian Group and the Guild of Surveyors and Master of the Art Workers' Guild. He also received the Architectural Association’s Professor Bannister Fletcher Medal (an award for the study of post- Great Fire London architecture) in 1902.

    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    This work is part of our exhibition - America Coast to Coast: Artists of the 1940s Untitled (Industrial Street), c. 1940s, watercolor on paper mounted on illustration board, estate stamp verso (signed by Peter Corbridge, the artist’s son); 14 x 21 inches; unframed Edgar Corbridge was a Massachusetts-based precisionist painter who mainly worked in watercolor. In 1916, three years after immigrating from England, Corbridge completed a course of study in sign painting at the Fall River, Massachusetts Technical High School and obtained an apprenticeship with the Armour Sign Shop.

During much of his professional life, Corbridge worked as a self-employed window trimmer and operator of the Corbridge Display Service, supplemented by income from the occasional sale of his paintings. Corbridge gleaned the subjects for his works in and around his home in Fall River, Massachusetts, as well as Provincetown. In the 1940s, Corbridge began to exhibit frequently, including at the annual exhibitions at the Jordan Marsh Company...
