An accomplished artist and poet he attended Winchester and was destined for Oxford when he died of polio in Dalmatia in 1936. This volume collects his poetry and reproduces a number of his drawings and paintings in color. <br/><br/>"John Douglas Holland was born at Basing Houre Southsea on August 30th 1917 and was the only son of Rear-Admiral L.E. Holland. He entered Winchester College when just thirteen.On leaving Winchester he went to the Architectural Association for one term and then decided to go to Oxford and was to have entered Magdalen College in October 1936 but while on a short sketching tour in Yugoslavia he caught infantile paralysis and died at Split Dalmatia on July 30th after six days' illness.These poems and rhymes were written from the age of fourteen. They are not arranged in any particular order of writing as though some were written out carefully others were found scribbled here and there in his books and on odd pieces of paper. His paintings some of which are also reproduced in this book were like his poems quick and unlaboured—done at any moment he might feel in the mood" preliminary p. 3.

1934WRCAM25237Probably San Francisco 1934. Oil on canvas 18 x 21 inches. Signed lower right: "John Holland." Very good. Framed. A brutal Depression painting a bum's-eye view of the hog carcasses live swine and the boots and slopbroom of a butcher seen in the alleyway behind a San Francisco butchershop. Painted in luminous sea greens and whites from the perspective of a laid- out drunk this intense examination of life among the lowly possesses an unlikely grandeur. Harder edged than Daumier's great and tragic pictures of the Parisian underbelly more desperate than any of Sloan's ashcan scenes down-and-out artist John Holland's "Butchershop Alley" is an uncensored depiction of what the promised land looked like to a man who was knocked out at the end of its road. <br> <br> According to an artist file at the San Francisco Museum of Art John Holland was born in Kilkenny Ireland in 1882. The date of his arrival in San Francisco is unknown. An informational form found in the file listed his full time occupation as perhaps sardonically "gallery attendant." His WPA work includes watercolor paintings for Bay region schools and Letterman Hospital the United States Army's first permanent general hospital founded in 1899 and completed in 1935. He died in Golden Gate Park circa 1935. The police identified Holland's body from a receipt found in his pocket for two paintings lent to a San Francisco Museum of Art exhibition. <br> <br> Provenance: Private Collection New Haven Ct.
