A gouache and charcoal work on paper depicting a simplified, gestural animal form. Executed with bold line and a pared-back composition, the work reflects Hilton’s direct and instinctive approach to mark-making in his later works on paper.
Roger Hilton (1911–1975) was a British painter associated with the St Ives School and one of the leading figures in post-war British art. His work moved between abstraction and figuration, developing a distinctive visual language characterised by expressive gesture, economy of line and a strong sense of spontaneity. His late works on paper are among his most immediate and recognisable works.
