Lot Essay

Page-Roberts studied painting under Bernard Meninsky at the Central School of Art before learning a trade as a theatre designer at the Old Vic School. His 1950s landscape paintings were exhibited with success at the Leicester Galleries, Redfern Gallery, Galerie de Seine and other galleries. One of his 1954 paintings was sold at Christie's in December 2006 for £33,600. His dockland paintings were executed at the time that he designed and converted a Limehouse warehouse in Limekiln Dock into studio accomodation. It was the first warehouse in London's Dockland to be turned into living quarters and was an ideal base from which to paint related ship shapes. (See lot 132).
