Self-Portrait

Artist: Hilda Carline (British, 1889–1950)

Date: 1923

Medium: OIl paint on canvas

Collection: TATE Britain

Description

The 1920s saw a revival in portraiture, and a belief in the importance of self-realisation influenced by modern psychology. The First World War had increased the numbers of women in the workforce, and in 1918 the vote was extended to many women. Carline had served in the Women’s Land Army during the war and the directness of her gaze is suggestive of the increased independence of the modern woman of the inter-war period. Carline trained with the post-impressionist painter Percyval Tudor-Hart and at the Slade School of Fine Art, where her brothers Sydney and Richard also studied.

Biography

Hilda Anne Carline (1889–1950) was a British painter, daughter of the artist George Francis Carline, and first wife of the artist Stanley Spencer. She studied art under the Post-Impressionist Percyval Tudor-Hart, with her brothers Sydney and Richard, and then at the Slade School of Art under Henry Tonks. She had a promising early start with her works being shown at the London Group, Royal Academy and New English Art Club.

In 1925 she married fellow artist Stanley Spencer with whom she had what has been described as "the most bizarre domestic soap opera in the history of British art." During the time that Carline lived with Spencer she rarely painted and it was not until they separated that she began painting more frequently. Carline's physical and mental health was poor starting several years after her divorce and after 1937 she lived with family members. Spencer became obsessed with his ex-wife with whom he corresponded and painted. In her later years she made religious works with pastels. She died in 1950, having struggled for several years with breast cancer. A touring exhibition of her works, The Art of Hilda Carline: Mrs. Stanley Spencer, was held in 1999.

Portrait of Hilda Carline

Artist: Richard Carline (British, 1896–1980)

Date: 1918

Medium: Oil paint on canvas

Collection: TATE Britain

Description

The painter shown in this portrait, Hilda Carline, was the elder sister of the artist. It was painted at his studio at Downshire Hill, Hampstead, London.

At this time Richard Carline was interested in painting in a strongly realistic style, and his sister has been treated in this manner. When asked about her red nose, the artist replied that she had a cold at the time and the ‘red nose was part of the objective truth that I aimed for’.
