Oil Portrait Painting By Vasco Lazzolo Of Lady
OIL PORTRAIT PAINTING BY VASCO LAZZOLO (AKA VICTOR LAZZOLA) OF AN ATTRACTIVE YOUNG SOCIALITE PRESENTED IN DECORATIVE FRAME MEASURING 38 X 28 INCHES.
We are pleased to offer for sale this large portrait by the Society Portrait Painter Vasco Lazzolo,finished generously in oils applied with a textured finish to enhance brush strokes and depth.
THE SITTER
The painting depicts a half length portrait of a lady, wearing a turquoise shirt waister dress, with pearl earrings in her ears. Her makeup and hairstyle are very much of the period. Unfortunately, we are unaware of the name of the subject, but she was obviously a member of the higher echelons of society
ABOUT THE ARTIST.(Born 1915)
Vasco Lazzolo was born in 1915 and studied at the Liverpool School of Art and the Slade.
Prior to WWII, he was a fashion magazine and book cover illustrator illustrator.
There is an interesting clip on google of the artist on Pathe News in 1938, giving a television demonstration of his technique when drawing fashion models. He was in his early twenties.
After the war, he became a well known Society Portrait Painter and numbered amongst his many celebrity subjects and friends, Donald Campbell, Somerset Maugham and the Duke of Edinburgh. He was also a sculptor and crafted a bronze head of the Duke of Edinburgh, which is visible on google. He had a large studio in Kensington.
He was also known for his friendship with Stephen Ward of the Profumo affair in the 1960s and had been commissioned by the Maharajah Cooch Behar to paint a portrait of a young model, who sadly died in a car crash. This portrait was completed after her death. There are at least 7 pages of information about Vasco Lazzolo on google and several of his paintings are shown on google images.
We can find little information about his later years, other than that he died in 1984.
There are a few auction results at the usual sites, but, bearing in mind his relative modernity, it is likely that the majority of his portraits are still in private hands.
