Sketch Book 17 | Mostly Camberwell | 1960s
This set of images is from a scrapbook of sketches and drawings labelled ‘Richard Eurich, mostly Camberwell School of Art etc.1960+'. They are mainly figure studies done when Richard was teaching at Camberwell, mixed in with sketched portraits, landscapes and seascapes, mainly from the 1960s and one from 1922.
Richard taught at Camberwell part-time through the 50s and 60s. Some of his students remarked that although they valued his comments, he did not seem to do much actual teaching. These sketches may account for at least some of what he was doing during his days there!
There are many figure studies, but he also records the context of the studio and students working. He sketches the curve of a single bar electric fire, the view from the window and a few are touched with his quiet humour.
Richard said he learned a lot at Camberwell. Hearing the aspirations of the students and seeing their direction may have reflected back into his own outlook.
