In order to escape the pollution of central London in 1913, Spencer Gore moved his young family to Cambrian Road, a pleasant street of Victorian terraced villas in suburban Richmond. Gore took this street as his subject in a number of paintings that same year. He had long been interested in the latest French art, having been introduced to the impressionists by Walter Sickert in 1904. By 1913 he had become enamored with the work of Paul Cézanne and began experimenting with angular patches of color in his work in imitation of Cézanne’s approach. Despite seeking the new suburban dream, a vision captured in this view of his own tree-lined street, Gore died of pneumonia at the age of thirty-five, less than a year after moving to Richmond.
