An overnight stay in Moreton-in-Marsh this week gave us an opportunity to take in the John Davies Gallery (no relation to the photographer), which specializes in post-Impressionist and contemporary art. They were in the midst of hanging a new show by the artist William Selby, however, they also had a permanent collection of paintings on display. One painting that stood out was ‘Fair at Cromer’ by Robert Duckworth Greenham (1906 – 1975). 

Greenham was a painter and print maker who studied at Byam Shaw School and at the Royal Academy Schools. He was especially fond of painting beach scenes, his slightly stylised draughtmanship and unique palette being instantly recognisable. His brother was the artist Peter Greenham.
