About the Item

‘The Violinist in Spring’ Naïve British Oil Painting Musician Dora Holzhandler British, 2000 Canvas: Height 50cm, width 41cm Frame: Height 68cm, width 59cm, depth 4cm Painted by Dora Holzhandler (British, 1928–2015) in 2000, Violinist in Spring shows a female figure absorbed in her music within a tranquil garden setting. Born in Paris to Polish-Jewish parents, Holzhandler moved to London as a child and later studied at the Anglo-French Art Centre. She was discovered by Victor Pasmore in 1947 and went on to exhibit widely, earning recognition for her distinct naïve style. Influenced by Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse, she often rendered domestic or spiritual themes with a luminous colour palette. Her paintings are represented in the collections of the Jewish Museum, London, and the Museum of Modern Art, Glasgow. This painting, in particular, reflects her fascination with the magical undertones of everyday subjects. The violinist stands beneath trees in bloom, surrounded by light and movement. Her tilted head and steady expression suggest the rhythm of music, while the simple garden setting draws attention to gesture and presence. At the same time, the moving petals around her seem to dance to her music, implying a sense of harmony, synchronicity, and oneness. The pared-back garden setting intensifies this mood of renewal and concentration, allowing colour, gesture, and emotion to take precedence over detail. The work is signed and dated ‘Dora Holzhandler 2000’ in the lower right corner. Executed in oil on canvas board, it is presented in a wooden frame. With its ability to simultaneously evoke emotion and embody a turning point in British art, the work becomes an exquisite addition to any collection.
