King Harold - Gaston Tyko
King Harold – Gaston Tyko, 1966
W 114cm H 196cm.
£6,601
Cheeky has decided to part with an old favourite - a very large painting of Harold Wilson by the French Painter, Gaston Tyko.
It is a fascinating painting full of mystery and hidden meanings by an artist who shared a studio with his friend Picasso in Montmartre, Paris but married a Scottish lass from Portmahomack.
The painting depicts Keir Hardie to the top left, Disraeli to the top right and shows an aura of orange (clockwork orange?) around Harold Wilson, together with a Crown above his head.
On his suit is a blacked-out castle tower that hides Latin graffiti that says:
Wiluhelmus
Conquestor
Rex
Angliae
Dux
Normanorumet
666 1066
We believe the painting is a nod to the perceived threat that many felt Harold Wilson was to the establishment - the establishment being represented by the founders of the dominant modern political parties and the reference to the start of the Monarchy in 1066.
We believe it was painted around 1966, some 900 years after William the Conqueror defeated King Harold at the battle of Hastings. It’s a very striking painting that we don’t think has ever been exhibited.
Gaston Tyko's wife divorced him and returned to Scotland with her Children and paintings by both Tyko and Picasso. She ended up living in a private retirement flat in Inverness and when moved to a convalescence home, her son disposed of the painting to a local charity. We acquired the painting from the charity, along with others.
