Original 1960s Watercolour on Paper – Framed
An original abstract watercolour on paper by William Newcombe (Canadian, 1907–1969), created in the 1960s and signed to the lower right. Executed in fluid brushwork and confident gestures, the composition is a refined example of Newcombe’s lyrical abstractions, marked by its modernist restraint.
The piece is presented in excellent condition, float-mounted and framed behind glass in a slim, contemporary oak frame that complements the work’s mid-century aesthetic.

Artist Biography
William Newcombe was a Canadian-born modernist painter who spent much of his professional life in the United Kingdom. His early education began in Canada, but he relocated to Britain in the 1950s, integrating into the British art scene during a pivotal period of abstraction and post-war experimentation.
Newcombe exhibited at many significant galleries and institutions throughout his career, including:
– The Tate Gallery, London
– Whitechapel Art Gallery
– Leicester Galleries
– Redfern Gallery
– New Vision Centre, London
– British Council (selected exhibitions abroad)
He was part of a vibrant artistic network that included friendships and correspondences with Barbara Hepworth, Patrick Heron, Terry Frost, and John Minton. His connection with Herbert Read, the influential art critic and theorist, further affirmed his place in the intellectual discourse of British modernism.
