Discover the captivating world of Richard Eurich, a masterful 20th century English artist, renowned for his enigmatic interpretations of Yorkshire landscapes. From the picturesque Dales to the dramatic coastlines, Eurich's works offer a unique perspective on the diverse beauty of this region. Despite his lesser-known status, Eurich's art has garnered widespread acclaim and can be found in numerous prestigious UK art collections, including Leeds Art Gallery.
Eurich's artistry extends beyond his landscapes, as he also delves into the realm of urban contrast. His thought-provoking and sometimes controversial pieces, created during his time as a war artist for the Admiralty, have captivated audiences and contributed to the growing appreciation for his oeuvre. Since his Retrospective in 1979, Eurich's legacy has been celebrated through important solo exhibitions, a comprehensive catalogue raisonné in 2013, and a fully illustrated monograph by Lund Humphries in 2020.
In 2022, a bespoke online catalogue raisonné was launched, curated and managed by Eurich's devoted family, who have long recognized the need for wider recognition of his talent. This invaluable resource allows for a deeper exploration of Eurich's work, offering a glimpse into his rich imagination and the memories that shaped his art. Drawing inspiration from his Bradford upbringing and his deep connection to the sea and shore, Eurich's paintings and drawings span seven decades of artistic expression.
