Ivon Hitchens was born in 1893. He is a product of the Royal Academy School and was always interested in 'non-academic' painting. He was an Arts Council Prize Winner in 1951 and is represented in The Tate Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, also the Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Aberdeen, galleries as well as those of Canada and Australia. This painting by Ivon Hitchens, entitled 'Daffodils and Lilies' is a magnificent example of his 'still life' and displays the artist's manner of reducing objects to an imaginatively stimulating pattern, enhanced by a radiant colour scheme of fused colours. This version of 'Daffodils and Lilies' is the second of twelve exercises on this theme.
