Sir William Russell Flint
(Scottish, 1880-1969)



The Blonde Minx - Yolande Donlan (exh.1949).
Oil on canvas.

This work encapsulates the Hollywood glamour that the American actress Yolande Donlan brought to post-war London, bewitching theatre goers and making her the toast of the town.

When exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1949 it attracted stellar reviews and was voted the picture of the exhibition.

Flint was extremely well suited to capture such theatrical beauty.
