Biography
John Bratby (1928-1992) was a British painter known for his bold, expressive style. He was a leading figure in the "Kitchen Sink Realism" movement of the 1950s, depicting everyday life in working-class Britain. Bratby's paintings often feature vivid colors and thick impasto, capturing the gritty reality of domestic interiors, pubs, and social gatherings. His subjects were often his friends and family, rendered with a sense of intimacy and honesty. Notable works include self-portraits, still lifes of flowers, and scenes of family life. Bratby's art is characterized by its immediacy, raw emotion, and social commentary.
