Est: $200 - $400
Derek Hill (1916-2000) Born in England / Active in Ireland, Oil on Board. Titled 'At the End of the Day'. Overall Size: 15 x 18 in. Sight Size: 8 3/4 x 11 5/8 in. Thickness: 2 1/8 in. #1111 . Derek Hill is known for Portrait and landscape painting. Born in Hampshire, son of a wealthy sugar trader, Hill first worked as a theater designer in Leningrad in the 1930s and later as an historian. His long association with Ireland began when he visited Glenveagh Castle, County Donegal to paint the portrait of the Irish-American art collector, Henry McIlhenny, whose grandfather had emigrated to the US from the nearby village of Milford, and who subsequently made a fortune from his patent gas meter. Hill began to enjoy increased success as a portrait painter from the 1960s; his subjects including many notable composers, musicians, politicians and statesmen, such as broadcaster Gay Byrne, Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek and the Prince of Wales. He was also an enthusiastic art collector and traveler, with a wide range of friends such as Bryan Guinness and Sir Isaiah Berlin. Greta Garbo visited Hill in the 1970's, a visit which formed inspiration for Frank McGuinness' 2010 play Greta Garbo Came to Donegal. In 1981, he donated his County Donegal home, St. Columb's Rectory, near the village of Churchill (pronounced Church Hill), which he had owned since 1954, along with a considerable collection including work by Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas, Georges Braque, Graham Sutherland and Jack Butler Yeats to the Irish State.

Following the Blitz of 1940-1 the British government proposed a committee to explore solutions to the housing crisis when the war ended. The Burt Committee concluded that prefabrication could be used to manufacture and erect houses quickly, utilising factories and creating employment. The prefabricated bungalows quickly acquired the shortened name of 'prefabs' which endures to this day. In a speech in March 1944, Prime Minister Winston Churchill promised 500,000 temporary new homes to deal with the housing shortage. 156,623 temporary prefabricated bungalows were produced in Britain under the 1944 Temporary Housing Programme. They were erected across the UK between 1945-9 from one or two on bomb sites to large estates of 500 and more. It was anticipated that after 10 years they would be replaced with permanent housing. Although the majority of prefabs were demolished, a few thousand survive still inhabited over 70 years later.
