Football by Lawrence Toynbee


One of the few major figures in modern British art noted for paintings of sport, Toynbee regularly exhibited with London's leading dealers, the Leicester Galleries and the Fine Art Society. He was also a renowned art teacher. He is represented in many corporate collections and museums, including the National Portrait Gallery and the Australian National Gallery.

"..paintings of sportsmen beyond factual reportage...the fusion of figure and movement acheiving universal images that can encapsulate the essence of precise moments and movements in different sports.." Peyton Skipwith, The Fine Art Society
