Circa 1930
Cecil Kennedy born in Leyton, London, on February 4, 1905, was a British painter best known for his highly detailed oil paintings of flowers. After training at art school, Kennedy studied under several artists, the most influential being Nieco Jungmann. He also studied in Antwerp and Paris and was awarded a silver medal at the Paris Salon in 1956 and a gold medal in 1970. Kennedy’s carefully delineated flower paintings have been likened to those of the Dutch 17th-century masters in approach and devotion to detail. Kennedy has held exhibitions in London, Paris, New York and Johannesburg and exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, the Royal Hibernian and the Royal Scottish Academy.
