Lawson E. Rudge (b. 1936), The Twickenham Streaker, oil on canvas, 72cm x 92cm, unframed, mildewed and some minor losses.
Lawson Rudge was highly amused by the famous photograph, taken by Ian Bradshaw, of the moment Michael O'Brien was detained, and his modesty covered, after Mr O'Brien's streak during the England v. France rugby match at Twickenham, 2nd April 1974.
Provenance: from the studio of Lawson Rudge. Lawson Rudge trained at Stourbridge Art College, and then the Royal College of Art, where he was in the same year as David Hockney. Rudge settled in Morchard Bishop, Devon where, with his late wife Julie, he created a home and studio. During a successful career as a commercial ceramicist, Lawson Rudge became well known for his whimsical raku pottery sculptures, including flat cows and hares; Lawson has now retired to a home outside Exeter.
