{"title":"Gordon King","description":"\u003cp\u003eGordon King (British, 1939–2022) was one of the United Kingdom's most popular figurative watercolourists, celebrated for romantic studies of women set in soft, natural light. Born on the Fife coast of Scotland and raised in Reading, England, he was winning art competitions by the age of seven. He trained at the renowned Carlton Studios in London and studied life drawing at Reading University, then spent his twenties as a freelance illustrator for magazines and advertising agencies before turning to fine art full-time in the mid-1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRomantic Figurative Watercolour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing's mastery of watercolour and his gift for capturing grace and atmosphere made him a fixture of the British art scene; he exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, and his graceful figurative subjects reached a wide international audience through prints, limited editions, and silk-screens. His 1995 book A Romance with Art carried a foreword by HRH The Princess Royal, and in 1999 the Fine Art Trade Guild named him Published Artist of the Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCollecting Gordon King\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, his signed, limited-edition prints and silk-screens are the accessible way to own that soft, romantic vision — among the most collected British figurative work of its kind.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gordon-king-symphony-in-blue-lithograph-print-38-850-gallery-framed-17a","title":"Gordon King \"Symphony In Blue\" Lithograph Print #38\/850 Gallery Framed","description":"\u003cp\u003eA luminous figure study rendered in the cool, contemplative tones that define Gordon King's signature aesthetic — this lithograph centers on an elegantly posed subject whose flowing form seems to dissolve gently into a surrounding field of blue, achieving a mood that is at once serene and quietly charged with emotion. King, a British figurative artist celebrated for his romantic and idealized portrayals of women, brought a refined draughtsmanship to his work that translated with particular grace into the lithographic medium, preserving the soft gradations and intimate character of his original style. Issued as part of a numbered edition of 850, this impression at number 38 arrives gallery framed and ready to hang. It would suit a collector drawn to accessible figurative art in the British Romantic tradition, and presents beautifully in a bedroom, drawing room, or any space where a note of elegant, meditative femininity is welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38\/850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDocumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certificate of Authenticity included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is offered as shown.
