Harry Phelan Gibb, British 1870-1948 - Still life with fruit, flowers and an African carving; oil on panel, signed, 85x54cm Note: Harry Phelan Gibb, often known just as Phelan Gibb, was born Northumberland but for 25 years worked in Paris. Initially he worked in a traditional manner but after a Cezanne exhibition in 1907 he adopted a much more avant guard style and at one time even shared a studio with Matisse and Braque. Gibb had influential supporters during his lifetime including Roger Fry, Gertrude Stein and the dealer Lucy Wertheim who gave him three solo exhibitions in the 1930s. Tate Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London hold his work.
