Sir Gerald Festus Kelly was born in London in 1879. He was educated at Eton College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Although without any formal training in art, Kelly had decided by this time to become a painter and, with this in mind, moved to Paris in 1901 whence, helped by the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, he visited Monet, Degas, Rodin, and Cézanne, among others, and made friends with Walter Sickert, J.S.Sargent, and, in particular, W. Somerset Maugham. Fired by this background, his own experiments enabled him to develop meticulous craftsmanship with great attention to detail, as is shown by his immense care in painting hands, following an overheard criticism. He became, in 1904, a member of the Salon d'Automne and his work soon gained for him the patronage of Sir Hugh Lane and, in 1908, election as an associate of the Royal Hibernian Academy. Then, having been deserted by his dancer girlfriend, he spent a year in Burma, thrilled by its colour and lifestyle. Somerset Maugham wrote of Gerald Kelly’s series of paintings of Burmese dancers: ‘His Burmese dancers … have a strange impenetrability, their gestures are enigmatic and yet significant, they are charming, and yet there is something curiously hieratic in their manner; with a sure instinct, and with a more definite feeling for decoration than is possible in a portrait, Mr Kelly has given us the character of the East as we of our generation see it.’ (Hudson, 1975)He became a successful portrait painter, and was President of the Royal Academy from 1949 to 1954.
