His house was bombed in 1940 during World War II, causing him to leave London for the Sussex countryside. He acquired a small area of woodland on Lavington Common, where he lived in a caravan, which he gradually augmented with a series of buildings. Here, the artist developed his fascination with the woodland subject matter. He is known for his panoramic landscape paintings, created from blocks of colour. This piece portrays his preoccupation with the landscapes, rendered in his abstract vibrant style, harmonious arrangements of pure colour and form across a flat surface. Works by Ivon Hitchens have been shown extensively both nationally and internationally, with retrospectives held at the Royal Academy (1979), the Serpentine Gallery (1989). He is represented in numerous public collections in Britain and abroad, including the Tate Gallery Courtauld Institute, London; Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum, London; Arts Council, London and The Yale Center for British Art, New Haven.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JW Anderson","offers":[{"title":"O\/S","offer_id":48722045272164,"sku":null,"price":163600.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5938\/3396\/files\/JWA-Artwork--011.jpg?v=1783680214","url":"https:\/\/jwanderson.com\/en-nz\/products\/landscape-by-ivon-hitchens-1962","provider":"JW Anderson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
