Modern British Art: Works on Paper
Past exhibition
McComb’s work rarely appears on the secondary market and for most of his career he avoided any close relationships with dealers or galleries, but he was well-known and regarded through his position as a Royal Academician and Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools from 1995 to 1998. His work covered a wide range of subjects and media, and he was an extremely accomplished watercolourist. Richard Morphett (Keeper of the Modern Collection at Tate Gallery, 1986-98) remarked that Len’s “pictures are alive from edge to edge, and animated by an admirable feeling for colour, sometimes very rich and sometimes of great delicacy, as well as by a beautiful quality of light.”
