Small framed signed painting by Dorothie Field (Oswestry SY11)

Painter, draughtsman, art promoter and teacher, born in London, Dorothie Field who sometimes signed work Dorothie Langridge. She studied at Highbury Hill School (with Nan Youngman), 1927–31; Chelsea School of Art (teachers including Henry Moore), 1931–2; Nottingham School of Art, 1933–6; and Birmingham University, for a social services diploma, 1941–2. Despite two marriages and having children, she continued to paint, in a variety of styles. Field was a full-time artists’ consultant and freelance exhibitions organiser from 1964, founding the Gallery 359 and Field Galleries. Coal mining, war and peace, the origins of life and death and environmental problems were key themes, pursued over long periods. She was represented in group shows organised by the Arts Council, SEA, AIA and Pictures for Schools.

This is a small painting but not to my taste and needs to go to someone who would like it. Collection Oswestry Town.
