λ JOHN HUTTON (BRITISH 1906-1978), THREE MUSES

λ JOHN HUTTON (BRITISH 1906-1978) THREE MUSES Oil on board Signed (lower left) 226 x 119.5cm (88¾ x 47in.) Painted circa 1953 Provenance: The artist's family Exhibited: New Zealand, National Art Gallery, Wellington, et al., John Hutton New Zealand Tour, 972, cat no. 2 The artist's family believe this to have been executed c.1953 for a mural competition. Basil Spence and John Hutton worked together as architect and mural painter for the Society of Mural Painters' RIBA exhibition in 1953. The scheme that they picked to work on was one for the interior of an office building. Rock designed an interior with a mezzanine and interesting views throughout. On one side of the room was a mural with nine full height muses by John Hutton. David Rock went to his office in North London, where he was given a sketch of three muses so he could start on the perspective and was told that he would be given the other six later. Hutton, however, never came up with the other six in time for the exhibition, so Rock simply made them up in Hutton’s style. Many years later a book was written about John Hutton where the author mistook the six muses that Rock had created for Hutton’s own work, arguing that the six muses sketch had been mislaid over time. At the opening of the exhibition, however, there was a lot of embarrassment as Hutton had motioned Rock into a group and introduced him to his model Marigold, whom Rock had only met in her dressing gown when he collected Hutton’s sketches. After a few seconds of confusion Rock said Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognise you with your clothes on!
