This British painter worked in the mid-20th century, known for portraits of stage and screen actors. One piece here shows Vivien Leigh as Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, painted in 1950. The brushwork keeps the drama close to the actor’s face, letting the famous role speak for itself. See how he catches the tension between fragility and fire in her eyes.
