Description

Most of our collection of Geoffrey Lefever's work dates from around 1969 to 1971, the early part of his career.  Many are inspired by the landscape of North Norfolk, where he still lives, as well as the Essex marshes and Provence.

These early paintings were all acquired in the early 1970s by enthusiatic collector Richard Cory Smith, who later gifted them to a friend in whose home they had been stored, all but forgotten, until we found them along with early works from Nicholas Barnham, Charles Duranty, and Cavendish Morton. (See our NEWS section for more about our exhibition "When they were young..."
