Painting by Charles, Entered Under Alias, Selected by Academy
A watercolor by Prince Charles was chosen today for the summer show at the prestigious Royal Academy. The work was entered anonymously in the selection process that rejected about 90% of the entries.
The painting measures 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches and is signed “C.” The catalogue for the show identifies the artist as Arthur G. Carrick--Arthur and George are among the prince’s given names, and Earl of Carrick is among his royal titles.
The watercolor, titled “Farm Building in Norfolk,” shows a low farm building with a large tree set in a green field.
“As far as I know, it went through the selection process the same as all the other works,” said Leonard Rosoman, co-chairman of the selection committee.
Charles, 38, has had work exhibited at the Royal Watercolor Society but never at the Royal Academy, Britain’s premier venue for painting.
