"Alick P F Ritchie: Capturing the Icons of the 1920s" Step back in time to the glamorous era of the 1920s, where Alick P F Ritchie's artistic talent brought to life some of the most influential figures of the time. From Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, a British grocer turned yachtsman, to Sir Harry Lauder, a Scottish comedian who brought laughter to audiences worldwide - Ritchie's brush strokes immortalized their essence. In his portraits, we see James Buchanan, 1st Baron Woolavington, a British philanthropist and racehorse owner whose generosity knew no bounds. And there is Sir Henry Joseph Wood, a renowned British conductor who mesmerized audiences with his musical prowess. Ritchie also captured political giants like John Wheatley, a Scottish politician fighting for social justice and equality. His portrait of James Henry Thomas showcases not only his role as a prominent trade unionist but also his dedication to politics. The canvas comes alive with Rufus Isaacs, 1st Marquess of Reading - Lord Chief Justice and diplomat extraordinaire. Meanwhile, Herbert Henry Asquith stands tall as one of Britain's former Prime Ministers; his leadership during challenging times left an indelible mark on history. Sir William Orpen himself finds representation in Ritchie's work - two artists united through their passion for capturing moments that transcend time. The Irish journalist and politician Thomas Power O'Connor is another subject that graces Ritchie's collection – an embodiment of resilience and determination. Guglielmo Marconi takes center stage as an Italian inventor whose groundbreaking discoveries revolutionized communication forever. Lastly but certainly not least is David Lloyd George – Earl Lloyd-George – whose tenure as British Prime Minister shaped nations during tumultuous times. Through Alick P F Ritchie’s masterful strokes on canvas emerges an exquisite gallery showcasing these iconic figures from the 1920s.
