About George Hammond Steel
George Hammond Steel was born in Sheffield in 1900 and it was whilst we were recently visiting the Graves Gallery that we became fascinated by his unique images of Cornwall and Essex. In fact we are based only a short drive away from the village of Ashdon in Essex where he lived for much of his life and are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who knew the artist from this period, who might be considering selling his work.
Steel developed a reputation for finely observed landscape painting, working within the strong British tradition of representational art. George was son of the artist G. T. Steel, and he was to become both a painter and stained glass designer. He studied art at Sheffield School of Art, before attending classes in Birmingham and then London. The harbours and coastline of Cornwall proved to be the inspiration for his landscape paintings. These works are usually richly textured, the surface of which are carefully built up with successive layers of paint.
His paintings often depict:
Coastal scenes
Harbours and estuaries
Rural landscapes
Essex woodland and countryside settings
His work reflects a deep appreciation of atmosphere, changing light, and seasonal colour, qualities that continue to appeal to collectors today.
